The first heartbeat

Verse 1 – Finding Out

The lines appeared and my breath disappeared

I stared at it like it might vanish from fear

My hands were shaking, my heart was loud

I whispered your name before I said it out loud

I sat on the floor with my knees pulled in

Wondering who I was about to become

I didn’t know if I was ready or strong

But somehow, I already loved you

Pre-Chorus

Before I felt you move

Before I knew your face

You changed me in that space

Chorus

From the moment I knew you were real

Something in me started to heal

I didn’t have answers, I didn’t have proof

Just hope breaking through

I didn’t know how, I didn’t know when

I just knew my life wasn’t mine again

From the very first yes

From the very first breath

From the very first beat

Verse 2 – Finding Out You Were a Girl

They smiled and said, “She’s healthy… she’s a girl”

And suddenly you were my whole world

I laughed, I cried, I held my chest

Like my heart finally knew where it was meant

I pictured your hands, your tiny feet

Your laugh, your voice, you running to me

I said your name so quietly

Like I was afraid heaven might hear me

Pre-Chorus

You weren’t just a dream anymore

You were someone I’d already die for

Chorus

From the moment I knew you were mine

You rewrote every broken line

Every fear I’d ever known

Felt smaller knowing I wasn’t alone

I didn’t need to see your face

To know you had your place

From the very first word

From the very first prayer

From the very first beat

Verse 3 – Her First Heartbeat

The room went quiet, the lights were low

I was holding my breath, you already know

Then there it was — steady and fast

A sound that shattered my past

I covered my mouth, I couldn’t speak

Because you were alive inside of me

That rhythm wasn’t just your heart

It was mine learning how to start

Bridge

In that moment, I wasn’t afraid

Every hurt I’d known slipped away

I thought, “This is it… this is why

I survived the nights I almost died.”

Final Chorus

From the moment I heard you beat

I became more than just me

I became your shelter, your home

Your everything you’d ever known

I didn’t need a lifetime long

To know where I belonged

From the first tear I shed

From the first word I said

From the very first beat

Outro

So if anyone wonders when you were loved

If they ask how long was enough

Tell them this — without defeat

You were mine

From the very first beat
