[Verse 1]
Dear Mama, dear Daddy
They said I could write you today
In this quiet little ward room
Where the clocks all whisper and pray
The world outside is hurting
Doors are locked and the halls feel strange
But in here we’ve got a miracle
Wrapped up in a baby’s name
[Chorus]
Your miracle baby
Sleeping under borrowed light
He looks like me, Mama
Little smile curls just right
I hold him up to the window
Like you’re standin’ in the drive
Your miracle baby
Is waitin’ on you to arrive
[Verse 2]
We don’t have any numbers
No pictures I can send your way
So I’m painting you a snapshot
With the only words I have today
Tiny hands chase my fingers
Like he already knows your touch
When he sighs in the dark, I swear
He misses you just as much
[Chorus]
Your miracle baby
Sleeping under borrowed light
He looks like me, Mama
Little smile curls just right
I rock him slow in the shadows
Tell him how you love his eyes
Your miracle baby
Is waitin’ on you to arrive
[Bridge]
One day these doors will open
And this long road will turn to dust
You’ll run in shaking, laughing
I’ll place him in your arms, we’ll trust
That all this lonely distance
Was the price of keepin’ him safe
Till then I’ll hold your angel
In this in-between place
[Chorus]
Your miracle baby
Sleeping under borrowed light
He looks like me, Mama
Same soft cheeks, same quiet fight
I kiss his hair and I whisper
“We all miss you, you’ll be surprised”
Your miracle baby
Is waitin’ on you
To see your own heart
In his eyes
