Lyrics
[verse 1]
It’s always scary when you step outside
For the very first time
With your eyes open wide
When you take your very first steps
And climb your very first tree
You may feel all alone
But momma’s watching you, baby
[verse 2, build]
She tries not to try to keep you too safe
She tries not to try to hold you too close
She knows soon you’re gonna be on your own
But not today
Little raccoon baby
[bridge]
And when you fall I hope you never hurt yourself
And when you’re lost I hope you get found
I’m watching you and praying too
The world is all a big adventure for you
[refrain]
It’s always scary when you step outside
For the very first time
With your eyes open wide
When you take your very first steps
And climb your very first tree
You may feel all alone
But momma’s watching you, baby
[verse 3]
Your momma knows I’m watching you
Which makes me feel like I’m your momma too
She listens for your sweet voice when you feel afraid
But she doesn’t come too quickly
Little raccoon baby
[bridge]
And when you fall I hope you never hurt yourself
And when you’re lost I hope you get found
I’m watching you and praying too
The world is all a big adventure for you
[refrain]
It’s always scary when you step outside
For the very first time
With your eyes open wide
When you take your very first steps
And climb your very first tree
You may feel all alone
But momma’s watching you, baby
[refrain, big finish]
[continue]
But momma’s watching you, baby
[refrain, big finish]
It’s always scary when you step outside
For the very first time
With your eyes open wide
When you take your very first steps
And climb your very first tree
You may feel all alone
But momma’s watching you, baby
[end]
[end]
