Life

It began

With a whisper in my ear

I think it's time

Suddenly all we held 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

She drew her first breath out of 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 sliver and gold

And I'm already proud

Beautiful like your mother

You are grace you are light

The better version of our past

From the start of life

We will learn from each other

As you grow up we will too

And our reflections of one another

We will start something new

We were changed in an instant

We became so much more

Our definition of perfect was written when you were born

There is so much to tell you

There is 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 oh

A better version of our past

From the start of life

We were changed in an instant

When we became so much more oh

Our definition of perfect was written when you were born
