Your Own Road

A gentle acoustic folk song about a child taking their own road, and about knowing your child by heart rather than by a growth chart.

Aderet Therapy Weekly is a weekly paediatric physiotherapy podcast for parents of babies and young children, made by Aderet Therapy in Campbelltown, in the Macarthur region of NSW. Each episode mixes short talk segments with original songs written for the week's topic. This is the song from episode 2, “How late can walking be and still be normal?”.

Lyrics

Verse

There's no map for the road that you're on

Just a little hand holding on

Some days weary, some days bright

You're finding your way through the night

Chorus

Walk your own road, take your own time

Everything's unfolding just fine

They'll get there their way, and so will you

One gentle step is all you need to do

Verse

Don't measure their growth by a chart

You already know them by heart

Every small win, hold it near

You're doing so well, love, right here

Chorus

Walk your own road, take your own time

Everything's unfolding just fine

They'll get there their way, and so will you

One gentle step is all you need to do

Bridge

Breathe it in, you're allowed to slow

Trust the little heart you know

Outro

Your own road

Your own time
