Verse 1
I think about us walking to Taco John’s
Taking pictures under that old bridge
Laughing like nothing else mattered
Like time wasn’t already moving us forward
We played cards on the floor
War on repeat
Radio humming in the background
Those small ordinary nights
That somehow stayed with me
You’ve always held onto things
Not just objects
But moments
Like you were afraid they might disappear
If you let go
Verse 2
There were seasons I watched you carry more
Than anyone should
Times I worried quietly
Loved loudly
Prayed harder than I knew how
When things were uncertain
When your heart was stretched thin
You stepped into motherhood
And somehow became more yourself
You love your children
Your bonus kids
With a tenderness that looks like strength
Even when your body asks you to slow down
Even when you have to lean on someone else
I see how brave you are
When you say you’re not okay
How strong it is to ask for help
How love shows up in honesty
Chorus (emotional center, simple)
You are never alone
Not in the quiet
Not in the hard days
Not when the road feels long
Christ lifts you up
Again and again
When your hands are tired
And your heart needs rest
You are never alone
Verse 3
You think of yourself as the caretaker
But I know the other side of you
The funny one
The one I call when I need nothing
Just conversation
Just laughter
You are my best friend
Rae Rae
The one who knows my everything
And still chooses me
Every time
I hope for peace in your home
For healing
For health
For enough to say yes to adventure
To travel
To breathe
To live without rushing
I hope we find our way back closer
Or at least choose each other
Once a year
Suitcases
Stories
Sisters
Bridge (spoken or sung softly)
If life feels heavy again
If the days stack too high
Remember this
You are never alone
Not in love
Not in faith
Not in this family
Not in me
Final Chorus / Outro
You are never alone
Even when everything changes
Even when you have to let go
Christ lifts you up
And so do I
Always
