Forty Weeks

[Verse 1]
Two little lines on a quiet morning
My whole world changed without a warning
Half scared, half smiling through my tears
Thinking about the coming years

Doctor’s voice and a racing heart
“Your life’s about to restart”
I’m holding dreams I can’t yet see
Growing inside of me

⸻

[Verse 2]
Morning sickness at 3 AM
Sleep don’t come like it did back then
My back aches and my patience too
Nothing fits like it used to

Everybody’s got advice to give
Telling me how I’m supposed to live
What to eat and what not to do
Like my body belongs to you

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m tired, I’m sore
And sometimes I cry
Wondering if I’ll be strong enough
When the moment arrives

⸻

[Chorus]
But for forty weeks I’ll carry you
Through the hard and the beautiful too
Through the nausea, the sleepless nights
Every kick reminds me why

Even when the fear creeps in
And I don’t feel ready yet
My heart already knows your name
Even before we’ve met

Forty weeks of changing me
Into who I’m meant to be

⸻

[Verse 3]
Little kicks like a secret hello
A tiny life beginning to grow
I talk to you when I’m alone
Wondering who you’ll become

I’m learning patience I never knew
Learning love that’s already true
Even through the anxious days
You’re teaching me in quiet ways

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m scared, it’s true
But somehow I know
The moment I see you
My whole world will glow

⸻

[Chorus]
For forty weeks I’ll carry you
Through the hard and the beautiful too
Through the aching bones and restless nights
Every kick reminds me why

Even when the fear creeps in
And I don’t feel ready yet
My heart already loves you so
And we haven’t even met

Forty weeks of changing me
Into who I’m meant to be

⸻

[Bridge]
One day I’ll hold you close to me
And every tear will make sense finally
Every sleepless night, every ache and pain
Will lead me to that moment again

When your tiny hand holds onto mine
I’ll know every struggle was worth the time

⸻

[Final Chorus]
For forty weeks I carried you
Through the hard and the beautiful too
Through every fear and every prayer
Love was growing everywhere

And though I was anxious, unsure inside
You were the joy that changed my life
Forty weeks that made me see
You were growing…

And so was me
