Sacred Ground

THE BABY THAT WASN’T MINE

[Verse 1]
I waited through the silent nights,
I prayed through every tear,
I held a dream inside my heart,
And finally, you were here.

Everybody came to celebrate,
They called it a miracle,
But somewhere underneath the joy,
A secret started growing.

[Pre-Chorus]
Someone knows what I don’t know,
Someone’s hiding something from me,
I can feel it in the silence,
But I don’t know what it means.

[Chorus]
Was this baby really mine?
Tell me, tell me, where’s the truth?
I gave my heart, I gave my love,
I thought I finally found my miracle.

Was this baby really mine?
Why does something feel so wrong?
Everybody smiles around me,
But somebody knows the truth.

[Verse 2]
A friend can hold you when you cry,
And still keep secrets in her heart,
A smiling face can hide a lie,
You never know who’s playing a part.

There are whispers in the hallway,
There are footsteps after dark,
And the people that I trusted
May know more than they ever said.

[Pre-Chorus]
Someone knows what I don’t know,
Someone’s hiding something from me,
I can feel it in the silence,
But I don’t know what it means.

[Chorus]
Was this baby really mine?
Tell me, tell me, where’s the truth?
I gave my heart, I gave my love,
I thought I finally found my miracle.

Was this baby really mine?
Why does something feel so wrong?
Everybody smiles around me,
But somebody knows the truth.

[Bridge — soft, haunting]
Oh…
What if the love I trusted
Was built upon a lie?
What if the miracle I prayed for
Was never meant to be mine?

Oh…
Who can I believe now?
Who can I call my own?
When the truth finally comes out,
Will my whole world fall apart?

[Final Chorus — powerful]
Was this baby really mine?
Tell me, tell me, where’s the truth?
Six years of waiting,
Six years of tears,
And now somebody wants to take it all away.

Was this baby really mine?
I need the truth tonight.
Even if it breaks my heart,
Let the truth come into the light.

[Outro — whispered/hummed]
Someone knows…
Someone knows…
The truth is coming…
The truth is coming…

Was this baby really mine?
