One stopped when the doctors said

"You'll never have a baby of your own"

Couldn't help him get control
[Chorus 2]

All your would've beens

Open your eyes
D
And dream again
[Verse 4]
D
One starts at the altar where
G
"I'll never love again" becomes "I do"
D
One starts with a whisper, child
G
You've always had a Father here with you
D
And one starts with a baby in the backseat
G
That they thought they'd never be bringing home
D
And one starts down on bended knee crying
G
"Jesus, I finally see, I can't beat this on my own"
[Chorus 3]

Just open your eyes

Open your eyes

And dream again
