Title: “Not by Blood” Verse 1 You were a miracle, the hospital at dawn The baby curled where the quiet lives on One new life and a long white hall Every prayer answered precious and small We traced each finger, counted each sigh Promised the stars we'd never say goodbye The world can change in the blink of an eye The baby we wanted with a soft gentle cry Chorus Not by blood, not by name Not by anything written in veins Love’s the fire that stays when it’s gone I’m your mother, I’m the one Who walked the floor, who kissed the fear Who stayed when heaven wasn’t here A family was made, true and good Baby you're mine But, Not by blood Verse 2 Eighteen candles and questions rise “Which parts of me are yours, which aren’t mine?” A file unlocked, a truth misplaced And the ground fell out in a single page My hands reach for you You were looking for something true Names and numbers, a door, a bell And a stranger stands in a history shell Pre-Chorus The woman says, “I never knew But I’ve been missing someone shaped like you” Chorus Not by blood, not by name Not by anything written in veins But there’s a pull you can’t outrun When you’re staring at your daughter, your son Two women claim what one girl feels Three hearts breaking on the same real Truth can split what we understood Who am I Not by blood Bridge I carried your storms, your fevers, your light She carried your cells without knowing your life If love made you, then who do you choose? Maybe a heart can love more than two Final Chorus Not by blood, not by name But by every shadow that calls my name Love’s not a line, it’s a widening flood I’m your mother We’re your mothers Not by blood Outro Three hands meeting, trembling good Family’s more than blood
