No More Little Licks of Milk

Every day you leave a little, just a sip, a drop, a taste, Like a stray cat on your doorstep, never fully fed. You think you’re helping, think you’re kind, But you're feeding habits that bind. A little lick of milk, just enough to stay, But will they ever learn to find their way? [Chorus] Stop the dance, take a step back, No more saving them from the track. Let them fall, let them rise, Let them see the world through their own eyes. No more enabling, no crutch to hold, Let them grow, let them be bold. You’ve been dancing in circles, step by step, by rote, Mirroring moves, keeping them afloat. But you’re caught in a rhythm that’s all too old, A dance that's leaving both of you cold. They'll never learn if you’re there to save, Time to stop being their endless wave. [Chorus] Stop the dance, take a step back, No more saving them from the track. Let them fall, let them rise, Let them see the world through their own eyes. No more enabling, no crutch to hold, Let them grow, let them be bold. You can change the rhythm, you can change the beat, It’s time to let go, take your seat. Give them space to stand alone, Help them learn how to find their own. A full meal’s awaiting, just let them see, That the power’s theirs to be free. [Chorus] Stop the dance, take a step back, No more saving them from the track. Let them fall, let them rise, Let them see the world through their own eyes. No more enabling, no crutch to hold, Let them grow, let them be bold. A little lick of milk, it’s just a start, But real change comes from the heart. Help them grow, help them find, The strength that’s always been inside their mind. © 2025 - RD Wallen
