[Verse 1]
You came in screaming, red-faced and mad
Tiny fists swinging at the world you just had
Your mama laughed, had tears in her eyes
I just stood shaking, first sound of your life
[Chorus]
First breath, first cry
Room went quiet when you opened your eyes
Every single thing I ever did in my life
Led me here, to this midnight light
First breath, first cry
You changed the world for me that night
[Verse 2]
Nurse said, "Daddy, you wanna hold him now?"
I said, "I don't know if these hands know how"
Then your little fingers wrapped around one of mine
And I felt forever in that hospital light
[Chorus]
First breath, first cry
Room went quiet when you opened your eyes
Every single thing I ever did in my life
Led me here, to this midnight light
First breath, first cry
You changed the world for me that night
