When they told me they was going to have a baby
a part of me went weightless
and for the first time in my life
there's nothing I could say
it's like a miracle from the stars above
paralyzed with fear
I was overcome 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
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
I guess that said it all
now we're a far cry from the storybook romance
something in his eyes made me crumble
I reached out for her hand
He said, 'soon you'll hear the beating of an unborn heart
and this is the answer you've been searching for so hard'
for the first time in my life
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 and wonder how a child survives
beyond the dangers and the strangers
and the inhumanity
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
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
I can almost hear the beating…
