Song Description

On her daughter's first day of school, a mother teaches her little girl to be brave and to follow her heart even when she feels out of place.

Lyrics

On that Monday Morning
Kay woke to a night sky
picked her yellow dress
with lace and flowers down the side

Her eyes were bright as lanterns
she stood up straight and tall
and listened to her mama
as they started down the hall

Chorus

Baby you just dream it
and that?s how it?s gonna be
Baby keep on playin?
don?t take it all too seriously
And when you feel like hidin?
you just let them know your name
greet the world with a great big heart
and jump into the game

Verse

When they reached he classroom
it was time to kiss goodbye
she felt as out of place
as a cold day in July

She covered up her flowers
flattened down her lace
felt her Mama gently
pull the hair back from her face.

Chorus

Bridge:

Slowly she peeked up to see some kids gathered on the floor
She nodded at her Mama, and she walked through the door.
With that breath and with those steps she chose who she would be.
She said, ?My name?s Kay. I?m new here. Would you like to play with me??

Chorus
