|
When she told me |
|
She was gonna have a baby |
|
A part of me went weightless |
|
For the first time in my life |
|
There was nothing I could say |
|
It's like a miracle from the stars above |
|
Paralyzed with fear |
|
I was overcome with love |
|
She said soon you'll hear the beating |
|
Of an unborn heart, this is the answer |
|
You've been searching for so hard |
|
And for the first time in my life I felt |
|
The wave of love so deep |
|
As I listened for the unborn child's heartbeat |
|
I said something stupid like |
|
How are you feeling? |
|
She smiled the warmest smile I've ever seen |
|
Oh, I guess that said it all |
|
Now we're a far cry |
|
From the storybook romance |
|
Something in her eyes made me crumble |
|
I reached out for her hand |
|
She said soon, you'll hear the beating |
|
Of an unborn heart, this is the answer |
|
You've been searching for so hard |
|
And for the first time in my life I felt |
|
The wave of love so deep |
|
As I listened for the unborn child's heartbeat |
|
Now we all know how crazy |
|
This world can be sometimes |
|
And I lie awake at night and wonder |
|
How a child survives |
|
Beyond the danger in the strangers |
|
And the inhumanity |
|
Lord give us strength to someday |
|
Find a world that lives in peace |
|
Oh |
|
Soon, you'll hear the beating |
|
Of an unborn heart, this is the answer |
|
You've been searching for so hard |
|
And for the first time in my life I felt |
|
The wave of love so deep |
|
As I listened for the unborn child's heartbeat |
|
Oh, I can almost hear the beating |
