Bring You Home

I can see it plain as day

Your heartbeat on the screen

Tears rolling down my face

All our hopes and dreams were coming true

We'd been trying for so long for you

Sample shades of paint

Your momma wanted green

Everything was in its place

Except for just one thing

We were counting down the months

Already loved you so damn much

But now there's a room we don't go into

A crib where you don't sleep

A name we spent forever picking out

That now we never speak

We couldn't wait to see your life play out

Hold your hand right through it

Couldn't wait to bring you home

But God beat us to it

The only thing that helps down here

Is knowing where you are

That nothing we could give you could compare

To those everlasting arms

That you're resting in

While we wrestle with

That room we don't go into

The crib where you don't sleep

The name we spent forever picking out

That now we never speak

Couldn't wait to see your life play out

Hold your hand right through it

Couldn't wait to bring you home

But God beat us to it

You might be an older brother somewhere down the road

But right now moving on feels too much like letting go

So

We got a room we don't go into

A crib where you don't sleep

A name we spent forever picking out

That's still too hard to speak

Couldn't wait to see your life play out

Hold your hand right through it

We couldn't wait to bring you home

But God beat us to it
