Life

It began with a whisper in my ear
I think it's time
Suddenly all we have dear, was on the line
As your heart, measured in mountains, fell and climbed

You're okay, you're okay, you're okay, you're okay
Amen

We were changed in an instant
We became so much more
Our definition of perfect
Was written when she was born

As she drew her first breath
I learned what love meant
In my heart, reconciled all the darkness and light
Inside my chest

As her hands held tight
And her eyes met mine
I saw the future unfold in silver and gold
And I'm already proud

Beautiful like your mother
You are grace, you are light
A better version of our best
From your starting line

We will learn from each other
As you grow up we will too
And our reflection of one another
We will start something new

We were changed in an instant
And we became so much more
And our definition of perfect
Was written when you were born

There's so much to tell you, there's so much to see
We will show you the oceans and everything in between

What a privilege to love you
To teach you all that we know
To watch you build a collection of dreams
That you can call your own

You are beautiful like your mother
You are grace, you are light
A better version of our best
From your starting line

We were changed in an instant
We became so much more
Our definition of perfect
Was written when you were born
