Unborn Heart

When she told me

She was gonna have a baby

A part of me went weighless

For the first time in my life

There was nothing I could say

It's like a miracle from the stars above

Paralized 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

Ohhh, I guess that said it all

Now were 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



Ohhh



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



Ohhh, I can almost hear the beating...
