[00:08.52]It began with a whisper in my ear,
[00:16.15]“I think it’s time.”
[00:21.68]Suddenly all we held dear was on the line
[00:30.28]As your heart, measured in mountains, fell and climbed.
[00:43.38]“You’re okay, you’re okay, you’re okay. we’re okay.”
[00:55.66]Amen.
[01:01.05]We were changed in an instant,
[01:05.18]We became so much more.
[01:08.54]Our definition of perfect
[01:13.94]was written when she was born.
[01:21.48]As she drew her first breath,
[01:26.42]I learned what love meant
[01:31.00]And my heart reconciled
[01:33.16]All the darkness and light
[01:35.79]inside my chest.
[01:39.77]As her hands held tight
[01:43.89]And her eyes met mine,
[01:47.51]I saw the future unfold
[01:50.79]in silver and gold.
[01:52.87]And I’m already proud.
[01:57.44]Beautiful like your mother,
[02:01.57]you are grace. you are light.
[02:06.21]A better version of our best
[02:13.61]From your starting line.
[02:23.54]We will learn from each other,
[02:27.71]As you grow up, we will too.
[02:30.99]In our reflections of one another,
[02:36.47]We will start something new.
[02:40.64]We were changed in an instant,
[02:44.97]We became so much more.
[02:48.49]Our definition of perfect
[02:53.93]was written when  you were  born.
[02:58.71]There is so much to tell you.
[03:03.00]There is so much to see.
[03:07.28]We will show you the oceans
[03:11.31]And everything in between.
[03:16.14]What a privilege to love you,
[03:19.99]to teach you all that we know,
[03:24.51]to watch you build a collection
[03:27.58]of dreams that you can call your own.
[03:36.44]You are beautiful like your mother,
[03:41.46]you are grace. you are light.
[03:44.94]A better version of our best
[03:50.32]From your starting line.
[03:54.50]We were changed in an instant,
[03:58.88]We became so much more.
[04:02.12]Our definition of perfect
[04:07.54]was written when you were born.
