One Of Us - Dave Barnes

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
