This song was written by my friend Ciara Brooke with music arrangements by me. This song was lovingly written for her baby girl, Piper, whom she had given birth to recently. We crafted this song as a pop tune that offers advice against growing up too fast.

Lyrics

Take your time, no need to be runnin' (Ooh)
Oh darling,
Take your time, no need to be runnin' (Ooh)

Baby girl, why you crying?
Is this world hard to smile in
Sometimes?

You've got so much life ahead of you, darlin'
Take your time, no need to be runnin'
You've got so much life ahead of you, darlin'
Take your time, better days are comin'

You're just getting started
You're just getting started
(Baby, don't you run so fast)
You're just getting started
You're just getting started

Well, it can be scary
Change isn't always easy
But don't you worry
Your steps have been ordered precisely

You've got so much life ahead of you darlin'
Take your time, no need to be runnin'
You've got so much life ahead of you darlin'
Take your time, better days are comin'

You're just getting started
You're just getting started
(Baby don't you run so fast)
You're just getting started
You're just getting started
