Family, You’re My Steady Place

מילים

[Verse 1] There’s a blue mug by the window And a jacket on the chair Someone’s laughing in the kitchen Someone’s fixing my old pair We don’t always say the right thing We get tired, we lose our way But the door is never closed here And there’s room for one more plate [Pre-Chorus] Through the seasons, through the changes One thing stays when all else moves Every road I take remembers Where I learned to call it home [Chorus] Family, you’re the hands that pull me through The honest words, the borrowed shoes The place I land when days run long The quiet strength that makes me strong Family, every distance bends back home No matter where I’ve learned to roam When the world feels wide and strange Your love is still my steady place [Verse 2] There are pictures in the hallway Edges curling from the years Birthday candles, hospital waiting Little victories and tears We have carried one another When the weight was hard to bear And the smallest acts of kindness Turned the dark into a chair [Pre-Chorus] Through the seasons, through the changes One thing stays when all else moves Every road I take remembers Where I learned to call it home [Chorus] Family, you’re the hands that pull me through The honest words, the borrowed shoes The place I land when days run long The quiet strength that makes me strong Family, every distance bends back home No matter where I’ve learned to roam When the world feels wide and strange Your love is still my steady place [Bridge] If tomorrow brings a silence If the years rearrange our names I will know the sound of your footsteps And I’ll find my way again [Final Chorus] Family, you’re the hands that pull me through The honest words, the borrowed shoes The place I land when days run long The quiet strength that makes me strong Family, every distance bends back home No matter where I’ve learned to roam When the world feels wide and strange Your love is still my steady place [Outro] There’s a blue mug by the window And your laughter in the air Wherever life may take me I know I’m welcome there
