Lyrics

I'm the news that nobody expected
I was never a part of your plans
I'm the reason why life as you know it feels like
It's slipping through your trembling hands
And the doctors say I'm just an option
A mistake you can make disappear
I may not have a voice
But I'm more than a choice
I'm as real as the heartbeat you hear
So don't close the book on me yet
I still got a long way to go
Empty pages to fill
And the best part is still down the road
I am a story untold
I am God's miracle in the making
Proof that all things can work for the good
I am fingers and toes
And heaven already knows
The name you'll pick out for me already belongs to me
So don't close the book on me yet
Oh, I still got a long way to go
Empty pages to fill
And the best part is still down the road
Oh, I am a story untold
Every life is sacred
Every life is a gift
And every life deserves the chance to live
I know you're scared
I know you're scared
I know you're scared right now
But when you hear my first cry
When you look in my eyes
You'll understand why
You'll understand why
Why you brought me to life
Don't close the book on me yet
I still got a long way to go
Empty pages to fill
And the best part is still down the road
I am a story untold
