When they told me I was gonna have a baby

A part of me went weightless

For the first time in my life

There's nothing I could say

It's like a miracle from the stars above

Paralyed with fear

I was ovee with love

They 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 felt

A wave of love so deep

As I listened for the unborn child's heart beat

I said something stupid like

"how are you feeling "

He smiled the warmest smile

I've ever seen

Oh I guess that said it all

Now we are a far cry from a storybook romance

Something in his eyes made me crumble

I reached out for his hand

He 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 felt

A wave of love so deep

As I listened for the unborn child's heart beat

Now we all know how crazy

This world can be sometimes

And I lie awake at night wonder

How a child suvives

Beyong the danger in the strangers

And the inhhumanity

Lord give us strength to someday find a world

That lives in peace

"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 felt

A wave of love so deep

As I listened for the unborn child's heart beat

And for the first time in our lives we felt

A wave of love so deep

As we listened for the unborn child's heart beat

Oh I can almost hear the beating
