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

Chorus:
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 the changes in me tell the real truth
I'm grateful for you

I bought a camera, I'd like to keep each memory intact
I've 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

Chorus

I look for my future 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

Chorus
