Hey, welcome to the world,
Oh, your mama’s been waiting for you,
We did the whole nine yards,
You nearly dropped in by the seat of your pants,
You’re my little girl and I have a name for you,
A heartbeat honed in heaven,
There ain’t no seed that’s simply thrown out to chance.
Rebecca, you are the laughter in your mama’s eyes,
The stars are bright, not like the shine I’ve taken to you,
I’ve taken to you now,
And, tell me, who gave who the gift of life?
We call it a toss-up, but the changes in me tell the real truth,
And I’m grateful for you.
I bought a camera, I’d like to keep each memory intact,
I’ve got the eagle eye, I’ve got it trained on you,
No, I don’t deserve you,
There’s so many qualities I lack,
Every privilege has its price tag,
I see a consequence in all that I do.
Hey Rebecca, you are the laughter in your mama’s eyes,
The stars are bright, not like the shine I’ve taken to you,
I’ve taken to you now,
And, tell me, who gave who the gift of life?
We call it a toss-up, but the changes in me tell the real truth,
And I’m grateful for you.
I look for my future, ooh, and I feel a peace about my past,
Surprised by joy, I have seen my Father’s mercy in you,
You make a fine tutor, and my vocation is clear at last,
I can’t wait to hear you call me something or see the world as you do.
Hey Rebecca, you are the laughter in your mama’s eyes,
The stars are bright, not like the shine I’ve taken to you,
I’ve taken to you now,
And who gave who the gift of life?
We call it a toss-up, but the changes in me tell the real truth,
I’m so grateful for you.
