I used to cry myself to sleep
Wishing to see the face I lost
Praying you'd come back
But never knowing if you would

For Four years I've waited
For a sign, an answer, anything
I begged God to see you
My son, just once

And one day I found out
There was a glimmer of hope
Could it be you?
I've waited so long

I bided my time
One week after another
Anxious for that one day
When I would know for sure

Today, that day came for us
And I saw you, Ryan
I saw your legs, your arms
The tiny face I prayed for

I saw you move and squirm
I heard your heartbeat
And my own heart soared to
A place it's never been before

I cried tears of pure joy
You're really finally here
You came back to me
Now my world is complete

To lose you the way I did
And to know that God answers prayers
To see you, to hear you, to hold you
It's all I've ever wanted

How can I be so lucky?
How could I be so blessed?
I finally have my baby boy
Back in my arms
Right where you belong
