From the first breath of her life
She flew straight into my arms
I used to catch her from the swing
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 a 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

Michael W. Smith's 'She Walks With Me' is a tender song about a father's love for his daughter as she grows up. The lyrics reflect on memories of her childhood and the bittersweet process of letting her go into the world. The father acknowledges he cannot protect her from every hardship but promises to always be by her side. The song emphasizes that love gives her strength. It resonates with themes of family, guidance, and unconditional love, though it is not explicitly a worship song. The connection to Christian faith is subtle, focusing on love as a grounding force.
