Your mom and I, we're counting down
The days until that joyful sound
When you turn the two of us to three
It was time, I guess, and heaven knew
And decided then to give us you
God must know some things that we can't see

And all we are, we are
And who we'll be, we'll be
Love and hurt, doubt and trust
Welcome to being one of us

Your mother, well, she's strong and steady
Southern drawl and good Lord, she's pretty
She's better than anything I dreamed
And honestly, I'm scared to death
I'll breathe at last at your first breath
Everything you need, I'll try to be

And all we are, we are
And who we'll be, we'll be
Love and hurt, doubt and trust
Welcome to being one of us

As for you, we're soon to see
A room of blue or maybe pink
Mama's black or daddy's dirty blonde
Whoever you turn out to be
You're forever part of me
You turned me to a father from a son

All we are, you are
And who we'll be, you'll be
Love and hurt, doubt and trust
Welcome to being one of us
