At first you weren’t certain
That you could do it
Not all are cut out
For the job
But, we talked and we laughed
And we prayed right through it
Trusting the timing to God
It was finally announced
One night late in summer
That you’d be expecting in spring
Brace yourself for the
Joy of a glorious boy
That’s what babies bring
So you set about nesting
Like every mother
Bought him his first pair of shoes
And there’s so much for you
And his Daddy to discover
How ‘bout those terrible twos
My ‘ole rocking chair
Quietly waits in the corner
Soon you’ll be the next one to sing
To those little boy eyes that’ll
Change your whole life
That’s what babies bring
Underneath the olive tree
Comes a peaceful offering
We are ready to receive
This gift of love
Able arms are open wide
Angels sing a lullaby
Sweetest little blessing
From above
They say motherhood’s
One of the highest callings
Raising up warrior kings
You have all that you need
Just stay down on your knees
And start stitching those wings
In the blink of an eye
He’ll be ready to fly
It’s a brand, new world
My sweet, baby girl
That’s what babies bring
