dave barnes – one of us lyrics

one of us

your mom and i, we’re counting down
the days until that joyful sound,
when you turn the two of us to three.
it was time i guess, and heaven knew
and decided then to give us you.
god must know some things that we can’t see.

and all we are, we are
who we’ll be, we’ll be
love and hurt, doubt and trust
welcome to being one of us.

your mother, well, she’s strong and steady
southern drawl and good lord, she’s pretty
she’s better than anything i dreamed
and honestly, i’m scared to death
i’ll breathe at last at your first breath.
everything you need, i’ll try to be.

and all we are, we are
and who we’ll be, we’ll be
love and hurt, doubt and trust
welcome to being one of us.

as for you, we’re soon to see
a room of blue or maybe pink
mama’s black or daddy’s dirty blonde
whoever you turn out to be
you’re forever part of me
you turned me to a father from a son

all we are, you are
and who we’ll be, you’ll be
love and hurt, doubt and trust
welcome to being one of us
