[Verse 1]
Met you on the mines out in Australia
Dust on our boots, sun on our faces
Laughing on break like we always knew
Every rough shift got easy with you
Day one
Heart ran
Didn’t even try to hide it
Whole plan
Changed, when
You walked in my life I felt it
[Chorus]
From the mines to the plane to New Zealand
Built a home from a little bit of dreaming
Said “I do,” and we turned into three then
Our gorgeous boy, yeah he gave us new meaning
Now we’re back on this red, red land
Building our life with these two bare hands
Every road, every sky that we roam
You’re my love, you’re my light, you’re my home (my home)
[Verse 2]
Tiny flat and the wind by the ocean
Learning to cook, burning toast, laughing, hoping
Rings on our hands, baby kicks in your sleep
Painting his room while the savings ran cheap
Then we packed up the boxes, kissed the sea goodbye
Chased the work, chased the sun in a different sky
Same love in the car full of secondhand things
Same hands, same hearts, just bigger dreams
[Chorus]
From the mines to the plane to New Zealand
Built a home from a little bit of dreaming
Said “I do,” and we turned into three then
Our gorgeous boy, yeah he gave us new meaning
Now we’re back on this red, red land
Building our life with these two bare hands
Every road, every sky that we roam
You’re my love, you’re my light, you’re my home (my home)
[Bridge]
If we’re rich, if we’re broke, I don’t care (nah)
Long as your voice is still right there (yeah)
In the dark, in the dust, when I’m tired to the bone
You say my name, and I’m already home (already home)
[Chorus]
From the mines to the plane to New Zealand
Built a home from a little bit of dreaming
Said “I do,” and we turned into three then
Our gorgeous boy, yeah he gave us new meaning
Now we’re back on this red, red land
Building our life with these two bare hands
Every road, every sky that we roam
You’re my love, you’re my light, you’re my home (my home)
