lyrics

Your ma will be up in a minute
Don’t look
Don’t look
It’s good, I swear
No don’t open your eyes yet
It’s a surprise
And we’re all waiting for you

Your pa’ll be up in a minute
Don’t look
Don’t look
They’re getting prepared
No, don’t open your eyes yet
It’s a surprise
And we’re all waiting for you to arrive
We’re all waiting for you to arrive
We’re all waiting for you

What will your hands be like?
What will you need?
What will you grip on?
How will you feed?

And when you’re older,
What will you wish for?
How will you comfort?

What will you make you laugh?
How will you laugh
What will light your fire?
And will it last?

And what will hurt you?
And keep you up at night?
I wish upon you

All your mother’s light
And your father’s faith
And his father’s pride
And her mother’s grace

Who’s looking down upon you
From beyond the clouds
Instilling you with all the joy
That one heart could allow

Your ma will be up in a minute
Don’t look
Don’t look
It’s good, I swear
No don’t open your eyes yet
It’s a surprise
And we’re all waiting for you

Your pa’ll be up in a minute
Don’t look
Don’t look
They’re getting prepared
Nah, don’t open your eyes yet
It’s a surprise
And we’re all waiting for you to arrive
We’re all waiting for you to arrive
We’re all waiting for you
