Unborn Heart lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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 some day
Find a world that lives in peace

Ohhh

[Chorus/Outro]
"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
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...
