[Verse 1]
My mama hums while folding the day
Dad leaves his boots by the back door tray
My brother laughs with his mouth full of grapes
And I learn peace in the small real things
[Verse 2]
Grandma keeps pictures in a blue tin box
Auntie tells stories when the rain won't stop
Little hands reaching for a second plate
That is the sound of the world I trust
[Pre-Chorus]
If the road gets long
And the sky turns gray
I hear your names
And I find my way
[Chorus]
Family, family
You hold me steady
Family, family
You make me ready
When the whole world shakes
I come back home
Family, family
I am not alone
[Verse 3]
Sunday heat on the screen door frame
Kids on the floor with a paper game
A burned little edge on the cornbread tray
Still everybody says save me a piece
[Pre-Chorus]
If my heart runs wild
Or my faith runs thin
One table light
And I come back in
[Chorus]
Family, family
You hold me steady
Family, family
You make me ready
When the whole world shakes
I come back home
Family, family
I am not alone
[Bridge]
Some names stay soft like a prayer on the tongue
Some voices stay near when the rest have gone
I don't need gold
I don't need fame
I just need the ones
Who know my name
[Final Chorus]
Family, family
You hold me steady
Family, family
You make me ready
When the whole world shakes
I come back home
Family, family
I am not alone
