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   Paralized 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   Ohhh, I guess that said it all   Now were 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      Ohhh      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      Ohhh, I can almost hear the beating...
