Family Strong
(Verse 1)
Sittin’ here in the evenin’ on my old porch chair,
Lookin’ out o’er the yard, breathin’ country air.
The sky’s painted blue, like a canvas so wide,
Birds singin’ sweet, with the freeway’s hum beside.
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m dreamin’ ‘bout the years, how the time’s rolled on,
From the seeds that were sown back in nineteen forty-one.
(Chorus)
Family strong, roots deep in this land,
Grandpa bought this dirt with a dream and a plan.
Dad built his home, worked his fingers to the bone,
Now I’m raisin’ my own where those seeds were sown.
Four generations, holdin’ on through it all,
Standin’ tall together, we’ll never fall.
I don’t think they build ‘em like that anymore,
Family strong, forevermore.
(Verse 2)
Grandpa cleared this plot with a mule and a plow,
Built a life from nothin’, I can still feel it now.
Dad took the hammer, nailed his heart to this place,
Raised us kids with love and a smilin’ face.
(Pre-Chorus)
Now I’m here with my own, watchin’ time unfold,
On this piece of earth, worth more than gold.
(Chorus)
Family strong, roots deep in this land,
Grandpa bought this dirt with a dream and a plan.
Dad built his home, worked his fingers to the bone,
Now I’m raisin’ my own where those seeds were sown.
Four generations, holdin’ on through it all,
Standin’ tall together, we’ll never fall.
I don’t think they build ‘em like that anymore,
Family strong, forevermore.
(Bridge)
The world keeps changin’, movin’ fast and cold,
But this old porch holds stories that’ll never grow old.
Through the storms and the years, we’ve weathered every fight,
Bound by love, lit by heaven’s light.
(Chorus)
Family strong, roots deep in this land,
Grandpa bought this dirt with a dream and a plan.
Dad built his home, worked his fingers to the bone,
Now I’m raisin’ my own where those seeds were sown.
Four generations, holdin’ on through it all,
Standin’ tall together, we’ll never fall.
I don’t think they build ‘em like that anymore,
Family strong, forevermore.
(Outro)
Sittin’ here in the evenin’, heart full of grace,
Thankin’ God for this land, for this sacred place.
From nineteen forty-one Family strong, we’ve come so far.
