[Verse 1]
You walked in early
With your coffee and your keys
Your name on every answer
And calm in every squeeze
You taught us how to solve it
Then taught us how to stay
When the room got heavy
You made a better way
[Pre-Chorus]
You kept the line straight
When the day got long
You made us stronger
By making us belong
[Chorus]
Now take your flowers
Take your time
You built this place
One brave line at a time
Take your flowers
Hear us sing
You made this room
Feel like anything
[Verse 2]
Your folders held the stories
Of the wins we still repeat
The big ones, the small ones
The ones that kept us on our feet
You knew every shortcut
Every setback, every start
And you left a little courage
In the middle of our hearts
[Pre-Chorus]
You kept the line straight
When the day got long
You made us stronger
By making us belong
[Chorus]
Now take your flowers
Take your time
You built this place
One brave line at a time
Take your flowers
Hear us sing
You made this room
Feel like anything
[Bridge]
When we look around here
We will still see you
In the steady little choices
You taught us how to do
In the way we show up
In the work we carry on
You are not just leaving
You are coming through us strong
[Final Chorus]
Now take your flowers
Take your time
You built this place
One brave line at a time
Take your flowers
Hear us sing
You made this room
Feel like anything
Take your flowers
Hold them close
We’ll miss you more
Than these words can show
