Unborn Heart

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
