Lyrics

 * [VERSE 1]
 * There once lived a baby in a bungalow
 * Our savior had placed her there just so you know
 * He knew that the child would be well known one day
 * And knew that she’d find her way


 * [CHORUS]
 * The angels stood there proudly you see
 * They looked down on the legacy
 * They knew that the child would be famous one day
 * And hope that she’d find her way


 * [VERSE 2]
 * A wise and strong wolf, all furry and black
 * Crept up to where the baby laid on her back
 * He gave her one look and was heard to say
 * “I’ll help you to find your way”


 * [CHORUS]
 * The angels stood there proudly you see
 * They looked down on the legacy
 * They knew that the child would be famous one day
 * And hope that she’d find her way


 * [VERSE 3]
 * Another one came, and from her first newborn cry
 * The old wolf then said “I’ll be there until I die”
 * He helped the two girls day after day
 * And knew both would find their way


 * [CHORUS]
 * The angels stood there proudly you see
 * They looked down on the legacy
 * They knew that the child would be famous one day
 * And hope that she’d find her way


 * [VERSE 4]
 * And one fateful night said the wolf in his cave
 * I’ll never forget you but you’ll need to be brave
 * While it’s over for me, I just want to say
 * I hope you both find your way


 * [CHORUS]
 * The angels stood there proudly you see
 * They looked down on the legacy
 * They knew that the child would be famous one day
 * And hope that she’d find her way


 * [FINAL CHORUS]
 * The angels stood there proudly you see
 * They looked down on the legacy
 * They said to the wolf, she’ll be famous one day
 * You helped her find her way
