One Plus One

I know it's hard to understand but
When me and your mother were younger
And times were tough
We thought that we might never meet ya
I know that miracle's a strange word

But tell me what else could explain how
Just at the moment hope had run out
Ready to give up
There you were, You'd swear we planned it
You showed up like it was magic

And although the blood we bleed is not the same
Who you are to me will never change

To my future son or daughter
Whether you look like your mother
Is a trait that's only skin deep
That's not what makes a family
Is when two hearts come together
To raise a little one that's better
Than the first two ever could be
That's how one and one make three

And as the years they make us older
Promise you'll always have a shoulder
When the river comes
To wash away all of your demons
I hope it drowns the pain you're feeling

And although the blood we bleed is not the same
Who you are to me will never change

To my future son or daughter
Whether you look like your mother
Is a trait that's only skin deep
That's not what makes a family
Is when two hearts come together
To raise a little one that's better
Than the first two ever could be
That's how one and one make three
One and one make three

And if you're out there somewhere listening
Just know our love has no conditions
Come as you are just as you should be
Take your time
We're right here
When you're ready

And although the blood we bleed is not the same
Who you are to me will never change

To my future son or daughter
Whether you look like your mother
Is a trait that's only skin deep
That's not what makes a family
Is when two hearts come together
To raise a little one that's better
Than the first two ever could be
That's how one and one make three
One and one make three
