She Walks With Me
Michael W. Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She flew straight into my arms
I used to catch her from the swings
When she was five
And now she dances on the wind
In a world as hard as stone
She's so anxious to begin
And ready to fly
And she walks with me
And she talks with me
And I hold her hand in mine
I know she'll find her way
Like the light of day
Cause it's love that makes her strong
Though I cannot stop the rain
And I cannot turn the tide
And I am sure there will be things
That break her heart
I can only let her know
I am always on her side
And even as I let her go
I'll never be far
And she walks with me
And she talks with me
In her eyes I see her truth
Born of her fire and grace
As she finds her place
Cause it's love that makes her strong
And she walks with me
And she talks with me
In my eyes she'll see my prayer
As she turns each page
Through this tender age
It is love that makes her strong
It's her love that makes her strong
The song "She Walks With Me" by Michael W. Smith is a poignant reflection on a father's love for his daughter.

He recognizes that he cannot protect her from all the pains and disappointments of life, but he can be a source of comfort and guidance as she navigates these challenges. Above all, the father is filled with a sense of awe and admiration for his daughter's resilience and inner strength, which he sees reflected in her fiery and graceful spirit.
There is a universal quality to the sentiments expressed in "She Walks With Me," which anyone who has experienced the beauty and complexity of a parent-child relationship can appreciate. Through its powerful imagery and heartfelt lyrics, the song speaks to the enduring power of love to sustain us through life's ups and downs, and reminds us that even when we are apart from those we care about, we are never truly alone.

From the first breath of her life
Starting at the very beginning of her life
She flew straight into my arms
I was there to support her and guide her from the very start
I used to catch her from the swings
I have always been there to keep her safe and help her navigate life's ups and downs
When she was five
At a young age
And now she dances on the wind
She has grown up and is now free to make her own choices and follow her own dreams
In a world as hard as stone
In a world that can be harsh and unforgiving
She's so anxious to begin
She is eager to start her own journey and experience all that life has to offer
And ready to fly
She is ready to spread her wings and take on the world
And she walks with me
She has my support and guidance as she navigates life
And she talks with me

I will always be there for her, even if just in spirit
In her eyes I see her truth
I can see her innermost thoughts and feelings when I look into her eyes
Born of her fire and grace
She is both strong and graceful, with a drive to succeed
As she finds her place
As she discovers her purpose in life
It's her love that makes her strong
Her own love for herself, for others, and for life will give her the courage and resilience to face any challenge
In my eyes she'll see my prayer
I pray for her well-being and happiness every day
As she turns each page
As she progresses through life and its many stages
Through this tender age
At this vulnerable and uncertain time in her life
