Thanksgiving 2027

Lyrics

# **ONE TABLE, ONE HEART** ### **The Tatum Family Thanksgiving Song** [Intro] Another year has come and gone,\ Another road has led us home.\ And through the distance, through the pain,\ There's one thing time cannot erase. The blood, the love, the memories,\ The roots beneath our family tree.\ And every road that we have roamed,\ Tonight, the Tatums are coming home. [Verse 1] There's an empty chair beside the fire,\ A photograph of younger eyes.\ And every year, the world keeps turning,\ But some old memories never die. We've had our storms, we've had our silence,\ We've said some things we can't take back.\ But love was never meant for perfect,\ It's finding light inside the cracks. The kitchen's filled with familiar voices,\ The smell of something made with love.\ And all the miles that kept us distant\ Disappear when we embrace. [Pre-Chorus] So lay your burdens at the doorway,\ Let yesterday dissolve tonight.\ We don't know how many more tomorrows\ We'll have beneath these golden lights. And if the world should fall to pieces,\ If all we've built should turn to dust,\ The greatest thing we'll ever carry\ Is the love that carries us. [Chorus] BRING US HOME!\ Through the darkness, through the years!\ Through the laughter, through the tears! LET US STAND!\ With our hands and hearts together,\ We are bound through every weather! And when the stars refuse to shine,\ When the hands of fate unwind,\ There's a place where we belong. THE TATUM FAMILY!\ ONE TABLE! ONE HEART! ONE HOME! [Verse 2] The children race beneath the table,\ While the elders tell their stories twice.\ And someone laughs about the old days,\ And for a moment, time stands still. There's a mother reaching for another,\ A father hiding grateful tears.\ There's a thousand little moments\ That become our greatest years. And those who've gone before this gathering,\ We remember every single name.\ For though their hands no longer hold us,\ Their love is burning just the same. [Pre-Chorus] So pass the bread and share the stories,\ Let the youngest hear the old.\ For the richest thing upon this table\ Isn't silver, isn't gold. It's every heartbeat in this family,\ Every soul that made us strong.\ It's knowing when the world grows colder,\ There's a place where we belong. [Chorus] BRING US HOME!\ Through the darkness, through the years!\ Through the laughter, through the tears! LET US STAND!\ With our hands and hearts together,\ We are bound through every weather! And when the stars refuse to shine,\ When the hands of fate unwind,\ There's a place where we belong. THE TATUM FAMILY!\ ONE TABLE! ONE HEART! ONE HOME! [Bridge] One day...\ The voices here will change. One day...\ The faces will grow older. One day...\ We'll wish that we could come back\ To this very moment. So hold your mother just a little longer.\ Tell your father that you love him.\ Forgive the ones you haven't spoken to.\ Don't let another year become regret. Because the greatest gift of Thanksgiving\ Was never waiting on a plate. It was the chance to be together...\ Before together becomes too late. [Breakdown] NO MORE DISTANCE!\ NO MORE PRIDE!\ WE ARE FAMILY, SIDE BY SIDE! Let the years fall!\ Let the world break!\ There is NOTHING this love can't face! WE ARE THE ROOTS!\ WE ARE THE TREE!\ WE ARE THE LOVE THAT OUTLIVES EVERYTHING! TATUM! THIS IS OUR LEGACY! [Final Chorus] BRING US HOME!\ Where the candles light the night!\ Where the broken hearts unite! LET US STAND!\ With the generations gathered,\ Knowing nothing else could matter! From the youngest to the old,\ Every story yet untold,\ Every soul that's ever known... THE TATUM FAMILY!\ ONE TABLE! ONE HEART! ONE HOME! And when the seasons turn to winter,\ When our footsteps fade away,\ May the love we shared this evening\ Live a thousand more Thanksgivings! ONE FAMILY!\ ONE LOVE!\ ONE HOME! [Outro] For the hands that held us close,\ For the ones we miss the most,\ For the love that never ends,\ And the blessing of our friends. May the table never lose its light,\ May our hearts stay warm tonight.\ And wherever we may roam... The Tatums will always have a home. Happy Thanksgiving...\ From the Tatum family.
