## 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
