Lyrics
When I heard my son cry for the first time
It was at the moment of his birth
And I felt him come to life there in my trembling hands
It was the sweetest thing to happen on this Earth
When I heard my son cry for the first time
I held him up and told the world his name
And I laughed and I wept at the same time
'Cause I knew my life would never be the same
As I counted his fingers and his toes
The sense of wonder deep inside me rose
To think that I was there to see his hands unfurl
As a brand new life got started in the world
When I heard my son cry for the first time
In my heart it opened up a door
And all the things I'd cherished in my own life
Weren't nearly as important any more
And I dreamed of the things that he would be
He'd have the world if it were up to me
For now I was a father and he was my son
And it seemed as if my own life had just begun
When I heard my son cry for the first time
It was at the moment of his birth
