This tune was inspired by the birth of my brother Patrick's first child, and is really for all first-time parents...

lyrics

Your house is quiet and the visitor is here
Congratulations are still ringing in your ears
You look to each other, oh you're nervous and you're tired
You're going to learn fearlessness
Get ready to inspire

And I know you'll show him he is one in millions
Fill your hearts with hope and so will Cillian

Wake up with laughter
Kiss him with a smile at night
Fill your home with music, and your days with fun and fight
Show him your passion, oh he'll soak it up for sure
Brothers and sisters, we never know just what's in store

And I know you'll show him he is one in millions
Fill your hearts with hope and so will Cillian

When you hold him in your hands
You'll begin to understand
And he'll be with you as you dance along the wire

And as he grows, he'll discover his own truth
Let him choose his own path and it will lead back to you

And I know he's gonna get a lot of love from you
Oh but love ain't everything, we need a purpose too
And I know you'll show him he is one in billions
Fill your hearts with hope and so will Cillian
Cillian
