You came in to this world, you were shrieking and crying
Blind to the miracle all around you
Like a turned-loose slave whose freedom astounds him
Reaching out for someone to comfort you.
Pretty soon, you'll be filling out your eyes with questions
Not knowing who brought you here or why.
And you can spend the better part of your life inquiring
Much to pre-occupied to see it slips by.
Little Kristin January 28,
There's no one person here to set you straight.
There's no clear avenue out of the gate.
But you know your uncle's pulling for you all the way
Praying for sunshine to fill your day
He's wishing your love in abundance
And simple contentment.
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh
Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh
I want to come and serenade you,
I want cuddle and hold you
Show you all the animals at the zoo
Take you on my shoulders as I watch you getting older
Try and guess the riddles that you put me through.
I'm gladly trade you a frog and a whole bunch of marbles
To stand for a instant inside your shoes.
And Kristin, I'm hoping that you'll save me a secret
One special secret just for me and you.
Little Kristin January 28,
There's no one person here to set you straight.
There's no clear avenue out of the gate.
But you know your uncle's pulling for you all the way
Praying for sunshine to fill your day
He's wishing your love in abundance
And simple contentment.
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh
Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh
