I got up, with the dawning light
And felt the day shake off the dark of night
Baby can you hear that sound
Baby can you hear that sound
I headed out, to find the sea
Let the waves break, set my spirit free
Baby can you hear that sound
Baby can you hear that sound
I've been dreaming night and day
Trying to figure out why we're afraid
Baby can you hear that sound
Baby can you hear that sound
It's the sound, it's the sound
The sound of my heartbeat
The sound, the sound of my heartbeat
It's a song, and a careless dance
It's a fool and an undeserved second chance
Baby can you hear that sound
Baby can you hear that sound
It's the little girl who carries on
When her daddy never ends up making it home
Baby can you hear that sound
Baby can you hear that sound
It's the sound, it's the sound
The sound of my heartbeat
The sound, the sound of my heartbeat
It's a prayer and a promise kept
It's a toast to the ones that we'll never forget
Baby can you hear that sound
Baby can you hear that sound
It's a tear wiped from your face
It's fighting like hell when you're losing strength
Baby can you hear that sound
Baby can you hear that sound
The sound of my heartbeat
The sound of my heartbeat
