[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)
