Your mom and I, we're counting down
|
The days until that joyful sound,
|
When you turn the two of us to three.
|
It was time I guess, and heaven knew
|
And decided then to give us you.
|
God must know some things that we can't see.
|
|
And all we are, we are
|
Who we'll be, we'll be
|
Love and hurt, doubt and trust
|
Welcome to being one of us.
|
|
Your mother, well, she's strong and steady
|
Southern drawl and good lord, she's pretty
|
She's better than anything I dreamed
|
And honestly, I'm scared to death
|
I'll breathe at last at your first breath.
|
Everything you need, I'll try to be.
|
|
And all we are, we are
|
And who we'll be, we'll be
|
Love and hurt, doubt and trust
|
Welcome to being one of us.
|
|
As for you, we're soon to see
|
A room of blue or maybe pink
|
Mama's black or daddy's dirty blonde
|
Whoever you turn out to be
|
You're forever part of me
|
You turned me to a father from a son
|
|
All we are, you are
|
And who we'll be, you'll be
|
Love and hurt, doubt and trust
|
Welcome to being one of us
|
