Roots of Home

{intimate

fingerpicked acoustic guitar

intro} {warm analog cello swell} We haven't known

each other long

But time is just a number

in a song

You carried storms and kept the light

For three small souls

in the dark of night

{delicate acoustic guitar arpeggios,

close-up breathy vocal} I watched you hold it all together

Underneath the heaviest weather And I knew right then

My search had come to an end {subtle brush snare drum enters,

swelling warm bass} Because you

and those three beautiful children

Are the family I always dreamed of holding

You built a home where my heart could belong

My sister, my anchor,

my favorite song (ooh-ooh) {soaring vocal harmony,

rich acoustic ensemble, sweeping strings}

Stronger than

the wind that blows

You raise them with

a love that grows Every laugh they share,

every step they take

Is the sweetest reality

I could wake

to {stripped-back instrumentation, piano and cello focus}

Only a short while on this earth together

But it feels like we've been side-by-side forever Through thick and thin,

we stand as one

Underneath the golden sun (m-mmmmm) {building tension,

drum fill, sweeping cello,

emotional rise} My family,

my home

Never again to walk alone With you and the three

Where I'm meant to be

(ahhhh) {fading acoustic guitar,

single piano notes, warm cello decay}
