DAD, TEACH ME TO WALK p2 [STYLE: Emotional Christian cinematic ballad. A tender father-and-child story told entirely from the child's perspective. Begin very intimate and childlike, almost like a lullaby. Slow tempo, about 68 BPM. Soft piano, very light cello, warm acoustic guitar. Do not make it sound like a children's song; it should grow naturally into a mature Christian ballad.] [[VERSE 3 — older, reflective] Now my legs are stronger, Dad, But I still don't know where to go. I can walk toward what I want, But I need You to show me the road. Why must I struggle? Why must I fall? You tell me, "Seek My face." I know You're good through it all. I don't understand You, But I see it when You smile. There must be something good ahead If You'll stay with me awhile. [BRIDGE — emotional centerpiece, music swells] Perhaps one day we'll walk together. Is that Your goal for me? Not just walking after You, Dad, But walking with You. I want to catch Your joy, The joy I see in You. If my trying hard until I see my need for You makes You proud, Then that's what I want to do. [FINAL CHORUS — peaceful, full, then strip back] Teach me where to walk. Teach me why I go. And when I fall, Please don't let me go. Maybe all along The goal was never just to walk. Maybe You were teaching me To walk with You. [OUTRO — solo piano, almost whispered] Maybe You were teaching me... To walk with You.
