I was born without a sound I didn't cry so they put me in an iron lung All alone and nearing death But I heard Your heartbeat pulsing through my chest Oh, oh... You took my breath away... So I would learn to need You My mother prayed I'd make a noise 'If You do this for me then You can have my son back' My father made a deal with God And then he left me stranded in the arms of love Oh, oh... You took my breath away... So I would learn to need You To learn that I could never ever live Without You... Oh... You take my breath away, You take my breath away, and all those years ago, I could feel You hide me, in the shadow of Your wing And straight away I loved You, 'cause You were singing songs That someday I would sing There's a heartbeat, there's a heartbeat Can you hear it? You're my heartbeat, I can feel it And I heard the sound of Your voice I felt the breath in my lungs I felt the joy in my bones And I started to sing, I started to sing I felt the wonder of love I knew the kindness of God I joined with the angels above And I started to sing, I started to sing for You Forever I'll sing, forever I'll sing for You
