The Greatest Discovery

[Verse 1]
Peering out of tiny eyes
The grubby hands that gripped the rail
Wiped the window clean of frost
As the morning air laid on the latch

[Verse 2]
A whistle awakened someone there
Next door to the nursery just down the hall
A strange new sound you never heard before
A strange new sound that makes boys explore

[Verse 3]
Tread neat so small those little feet
Amid the morning his small heart beats
So much excitement yesterday
That must be rewarded, must be displayed

[Chorus]
Large hands lift him through the air
Excited eyes contain him there
The eyes of those he loves and knows
But what's this extra bed just here?

[Verse 4]
His puzzled head tips to one side
Amazement swims in those bright green eyes
Glancing down upon this thing
That make strange sounds, strange sounds that sing

[Verse 5]
In those silent happy seconds
That surround the sound of this event
A parent's smile is made in moments
They have made for you a friend

[Chorus]
And all you ever learned from them
Until you grew much older
Did not compare with when they said
"This is your brand new brother"

[Outro]
"This is your brand new brother"
"This is your brand new brother"
