The story behind the song

I’m Mia’s dad, and this song is my welcome to her. She arrived at 5:17, just before sunrise. The nursery wall was still half painted and our dog waited outside the door. She has her mother’s eyes, and she opened them to look around. I want her to know she is loved before she has to do or become anything.

The song began with these details:

  • Mia arriving at 5:17 just before sunrise
  • A nursery wall still half painted
  • The family dog waiting outside the door
  • Mia looking around with eyes just like her mother’s

At five seventeen the whole room

Held its breath and heard you cry

And we found you with the day
