"She looks like you", the doctor said
In the delivery room, as I cradled your head
Your eyes were blue, just like the sky
Reflecting over an ocean, so wide
And it was like looking in a mirror
And suddenly everything seemed so much clearer
And I knew then
Why I was made
God put me here to raise you
And to keep you safe
He made your eyes
Look just like mine
To remind me of this gift called life
I followed you through every first
First smile, first laugh, first steps, first words
You were messy like me and never rehearsed
In a rush to grow into your future
Left eye bruised from a fight at school
Standing up for someone smaller than you
And as I held the pack of ice
Couldn't take away the pain but I knew I had to try
'Cause it was like looking in a mirror
And being so proud of what you see there
And I knew then
Why I was made
God put me here to raise you
And to keep you safe
He made your eyes
Look just like mine
To remind me of this gift called life
And I knew then
Why I was made
God put me here to raise you
And to keep you safe
He made your eyes
Look just like mine
To remind me of this gift called life
I knew then
Why I was made
God put me here to raise you
And to keep you safe
He made your eyes
Look just like mine
To remind me of this gift called life
You remind me of this gift called life
