“Blue-Eyed Answer” A song for my son [Verse 1] We sat on the porch for the hundredth time Talkin’ ‘bout life and this heart of mine Was it full or was there still room to grow? Your daddy had dreams of a little boy’s laugh I held fear like a weight on my back Could I do it again? I just didn’t know [Verse 2] So we prayed in the quiet and prayed in the mess Asked God for peace, for a clear, simple “yes” I was scared to fall deeper when I already felt weak But the signs kept coming, soft and sure [Chorus] And then there were two pink lines Just like that, God’s plan became mine Your daddy grinned, said, “Maybe he’s on his way” And I just hoped for health and blue eyes Still unsure of how my heart would rise But the moment I saw you, I knew I’d never be the same You were my blue-eyed answer To every whispered prayer I prayed [Verse 3] Your sisters had my heart, no doubt I didn’t know what loving a boy was about Felt like a stranger I couldn’t yet see But then you cried, and I held you near And just like that, it all was clear You were always meant to be part of me [Chorus] ‘Cause there were two pink lines And somehow peace and fear entwined But God knew the joy that was headed our way Now your daddy’s proud, and I’m in awe At your scrunchy smile and how you saw Straight into my soul with those sky-colored eyes each day You were my blue-eyed answer To every whispered prayer I prayed [Bridge] Now I rock you slow in the quiet night And wonder how I ever questioned this life You’re my yes, my gift, my sweetest grace Can’t imagine a world without your face [Final Chorus] It started with two pink lines A leap of faith, a love redefined You filled every space I didn’t know was bare Now you’re here, and I’m undone By the joy of my baby boy, my son With your mama’s smile and eyes like a prayer You’re my blue-eyed answer To every whispered prayer I prayed [Outro] Now I see what God was doing all along You were the piece that made our family strong I was scared, but He knew what I’d find— A love so deep, it still takes me by surprise My blue-eyed answer… My son.
