[baby music box plays]
[Verse 1]
The room’s a blur but I see you clear
Tiny hands
A future near
Heartbeat loud
A brand-new sound
[Prechorus]
I was just a man with scattered plans
Now I’m holding the world in my hands
[Chorus]
First breath of forever
I’m never the same
A little voice whispers
I now know my name
I’m a father
I’m a father
How sweet the sound
My Lord has lifted me off the ground.
[Verse 2]
Your cry’s a song I’ll always hear
Fragile strength
No trace of fear
I’m learning love in a whole new way
[Bridge]
Late nights
Soft light
Rocking slow
You’ll grow up fast
But I’ll never let go
A guardian
A guide
The man I’ll be
You’ve changed the very core of me
[Chorus]
First breath of forever
I’m never the same
A little voice whispers
I now know my name
I’m a father
I’m a father
How sweet the sound
My Lord has lifted me off the ground.
[Verse 3]
Your eyes are closed but I see the stars
You don’t know yet how loved you are
The man I was
He fades away
A better me was born today
[Verse 4]
Newborn wonder
You’re my son
The world just shifted
It’s begun
Every heartbeat
Every sigh
I’ll protect you till I die
[Chorus]
First breath of forever
I’m never the same
A little voice whispers
I now know my name
I’m a father
I’m a father
How sweet the sound
My Lord has lifted me off the ground.
[Outro]
My world has changed forever
I’ll never leave you, never ever
With every heartbeat
Through every sigh
I’ll protect you, until I die
