Started as five

Verse 1

Started as five in the daylight glow,

Morning sun through the windows low.

Coffee cups, jokes before the rush,

Keys on our sides, carts we push.

Hallways bright with a radio song,

Laughing so hard while the hours run long.

Sweeping floors with the sun on our face,

Turning a job into a safe place.

Hook

Started as five, now it’s two of us here,

Last day working, but the love is clear.

Yeah it hurts, but I smile too,

’Cause look at the family we grew.

Verse 2

We laughed till we cried, sometimes both at once,

Inside jokes only we understood, no front.

Didn’t break down till the end got near,

Held it together almost all year.

One year in, but it felt so deep,

Shared real talks while the world stayed cheap.

Not just cleaning, we cleaned up pain,

Found joy together in the everyday.

Hook

Started as five, now it’s two of us here,

Empty rooms but the bond still near.

Building closing, but our light won’t fade,

Some connections outlive the space they’re made.

Bridge

Every room still echoes our sound,

Daytime laughter still floating around.

Sad to go, but grateful too,

Not everyone leaves with something this true.

Verse 3

Now the sun hits different on this last day,

Packing memories, not just walking away.

Proud of the work, proud of the time,

Proud of the way we turned routine into rhyme.

Only two left, but the five still stand,

In every story, in every hand.

This ain’t goodbye, it’s love we keep,

A family gained — forever deep.

Outro

So we smile through tears in the daylight shine,

Grateful for every shared lunch break line.

Building may close, but the love stays new,

Started as coworkers — left as family too
