Rebecca

Hey, welcome to the world
Oh, your mama's been waiting for you
We did the whole nine yards
You nearly dropped in
By the seat of your pants
You're my little girl
And I have a name for you
A heartbeat honed in heaven
There ain't no seed
That's simply thrown out to chance

Rebecca
You are the laughter in your mama's eyes
The stars are bright
But not like the shine I've taken to you
I've taken to you now
And tell me who gave who the gift of life?
We call it a toss-up
But these changes in me tell the real truth
And I'm grateful for you

I bought a camera
I'd like to keep each memory intact
I got the eagle eye
I've got it trained on you
No, I don't deserve you
There's so many qualities I lack
Every privilege has its price tag
I see a consequence in all that I do

Hey, Rebecca
You are the laughter in your mama's eyes
The stars are bright
But not like the shine I've taken to you
I've taken to you now
And tell me who gave who the gift of life?
We call it a toss-up
But these changes in me tell the real truth
And I'm grateful for you

I look for my future
Oh, and I feel a peace about my past
Surprised by joy
I've seen my Father's mercy in you
You make a fine tutor
And my vocation is clear at last
I can't wait to hear you call me something
And see the world as you do

Hey, Rebecca
You are the laughter in your mama's eyes
The stars are bright
But not like the shine I've taken to you
I've taken to you now
And who gave who the gift of life?
We call it a toss-up
But these changes in me tell the real truth
I'm so grateful for you

I love you
I love you
