[Verse 1] Got these wires in my arm, gown on my back Doctor talkin' numbers, I just heard it crack Whole world tilting in a white-walled room Thought I’d lose my future in fluorescent gloom Then I saw Drew, jaw tight, eyes red Saying, “We gon’ fight, not fold,” that’s what he said Kids on my lap, drawing hearts on my skin Turning every needle to a place we begin They made jokes ‘bout my head when my hair fell out Put a crown on my scarf like, “Mom, check it out” (hey) Little hands on my cheeks, “You’re still the same” In their crooked crayon letters, they rewrote my name [Chorus] You’re my rock through the storm, yeah, you held that line When the ground shook hard, you were right behind When my knees gave out, you were both my spine Drew and my babies, you kept me alive You’re my rock through the storm, when I came undone Turned my “I can’t breathe” into “We already won” If I stand here now, it’s ‘cause you all stayed strong Drew and my kids, you’re the heart of this song (oh yeah) [Verse 2] Remember late nights, beepin’ in the dark You’d trace every scar like a map on my heart Kids sleeping in chairs, wrapped up in your coat You reading funny stories just to keep us afloat I saw fear in your face that you tried to hide But I caught every tear that you cried inside Still you packed up hope in a Tupperware box Brought it every visit like my favorite sauce We made jokes ‘bout the food, talked ‘bout next year’s plans Coloring on forms with those tiny hands They learned strength in the hallways, courage in the ride They grew up on faith, not just time passing by [Chorus] You’re my rock through the storm, yeah, you held that line When the ground shook hard, you were right behind When my knees gave out, you were both my spine Drew and my babies, you kept me alive You’re my rock through the storm, when I came undone Turned my “I can’t breathe” into “We already won” If I stand here now, it’s ‘cause you all stayed strong Drew and my kids, you’re the heart of this song [Bridge] If the scans look clear, if they ever don’t If my body’s tired, if it says it won’t Just know every step that I still can’t take You already walked for me, made that path straight If my voice gets weak, let this record speak Let it tell you all the love I could never tweak You were there, day one, through the rise and fall Drew and my kids, you’re my all in all (yeah) [Chorus] You’re my rock through the storm, yeah, you held that line When the ground shook hard, you were right behind When my knees gave out, you were both my spine Drew and my babies, you kept me alive You’re my rock through the storm, when I came undone Turned my “I can’t breathe” into “We already won” If I stand here now, it’s ‘cause you all stayed strong Drew and my kids, you’re the heart of this song (my rock)
