I thought I knew what innocence was,
And then I saw him sleep…
I thought I knew what promise was,
And then he held my finger…
I thought I knew what heartbreak was,
And then I heard his cries…
I thought I knew what unconditional was,
And then he gazed into my eyes…
I thought I knew what music was,
And then I heard him laugh…
I thought I knew what time was,
And then I saw him grow…
I thought I knew what happiness was,
And then he broke into a smile…
I thought I knew what love was,
And then he was born.
