Kitchen Table Hymn

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There’s a dent in the table From a pan too hot Mama laughed and said That spot means a lot Your shoes by the door Mine kicked off beside We don’t say much But we never hide [Pre-Chorus] When the day gets loud And the money runs thin You can come back home And start again Same old chairs Same old floor That worn-out place Still feels like more [Chorus] Family, family Hold me close, hold me close Family, family You’re the root I know When the storm rolls in You don’t let go Family, family That’s my home [Verse 2] Uncle’s on the grill Kids in the yard Granddad telling stories Like they leave a scar Auntie hums along To a song from youth Every cracked old wall Holds a bit of truth [Pre-Chorus] When the world gets cold And I lose my way One look in your eyes And I’m okay Same old laugh Same old song If I fall apart You make me strong [Chorus] Family, family Hold me close, hold me close Family, family You’re the root I know When the storm rolls in You don’t let go Family, family That’s my home [Bridge] If I go too far Pull me back in If I’m not enough Love me again We break, we bend But we don’t break down We gather up the pieces And hold this ground [Final Chorus] Family, family Hold me close, hold me close Family, family You’re the root I know When the storm rolls in You don’t let go Family, family That’s my home Family, family I’m never alone
