lyrics

Every waiting room holds a conspiracy
Keeps you uncomfortable enough
Held hostage in your restless thoughts
Until some news comes, until some news comes

Standing there with heart in throat
The moment agonizing slow
Til someone comes to tell what’s going on

The angels weren’t the only ones rejoicing over you
On the day that you were born, on the day that you were born
All of heaven held its breath and let it out when you breathed in
What joy could be more over you on the day that you were born

Not every family is quite so loving
The tendency is to forget
That they ever cared or laughed or wept
With news of your life, with news of your life

But they were standing there with heart in throat
The moment agonizing slow
Til someone came to tell them what’s going on

The angels weren’t the only ones rejoicing over you
On the day that you were born, on the day that you were born
All of heaven held its breath and let it out when you breathed in
What joy could be more over you on the day that you were born

The angels weren’t the only ones rejoicing over you
On the day that you were born, on the day that you were born
All of heaven held its breath and let it out when you breathed in
What joy could be more over you on the day that you were born
