&quot;Here&#039;s to waking up Thursday, and thinking it&#039;s Friday.&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s Wednesday, dude.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;And we didn&#039;t think it was very cool, so... we tried to kill him.&quot;<br /> &quot;Dude, they&#039;re cops!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Great minds think alike.&quot;<br /> &quot;And fools seldom differ.&quot;

You're not scared
C'mon, little one
Take a breath
Take a step
Baby steps, baby girl
That's how it is in life

You're halfway there
Enough, get back up
Mind your fears
Dry your tears
Baby steps, baby girl
Know what's wrong and what's right

If you dare
Explore, don't ignore
What you believe
How you percieve
Baby steps, baby girl
Forgive before you fight

Be aware
What you've got's not a lot
Make it yours
Open doors
Baby steps, baby girl
It's up to you to decide
