My Little Wild One

You were born on a Tuesday

Hair all mess

Eyes so wide

Laughing at the ceiling fan

Like you’d found another sky

Crayon on the hallway wall

Shoes on the wrong small feet

Mud on your superhero cape

Dancing in the grocery aisle beat

My little wild one

Heart like a firework

Running through the sun

Every “no” turns into “watch me

I’m not done”

Oh

My little wild one

Spinning through the kitchen

Singing just for fun

Don’t you ever tame that thunder when you run

My little wild one

You say clouds look like dragons

Talk to every stray you see

Turn a cardboard box

Into ships that cross the sea

Bedtime is a battle cry

Stories “just one more”

Glitter in your tangled hair

Stickers on the bedroom door

My little wild one

Heart like a firework

Running through the sun

Every “no” turns into “watch me

I’m not done”

Oh

My little wild one

Spinning through the kitchen

Singing just for fun

Don’t you ever tame that thunder when you run

My little wild one

One day you’ll ask if it’s too much

If you should quiet down that rush

I’ll hold your hand and say “stay loud”

You were born to shake this ground (oh yeah)

My little wild one

Heart like a firework

Running through the sun

Every “no” turns into “watch me

I’m not done”

Oh

My little wild one

Spinning through the kitchen

Singing just for fun

Don’t you ever tame that thunder when you run

My little wild one
