Nathaniel

In the West Virginia mountains, we were just kids

Where the days were long and the dreams felt big

We were just friends then, but something began

Like the start of a story only God could have planned

I saw the warmth you kept tucked deep inside

Talked about Jesus and reaching for the skies

Every word drew me in, I finally felt seen

Didn’t know yet, you’d be the man of my dreams

Now I’m safe in your arms, it’s where I belong

Every day with you feels like my favorite song

When you walk out the door, I can’t wait ‘til you’re back

I count down the moments ‘til you’re here at last

I’m grateful for all of this life that we’ve grown

Nathaniel, my love, my heart, you’re my home

We chased the horizon on a two-day whim

Packed up the tent and the baby, just dove right in

Crossed over the Rockies, stopped at a Utah fruit stand

Thought the Grand Canyon wasn’t quite that grand

Went down roads our car was not built to drive

Saw a rock spire that had us laughing till we cried

That trip lit a fire we still carry on

Now we go where we dream, and we make it our own

We’ve walked through rainforests, sailed under the moon

Seen glowing bays and the redwood blooms

From the Narrows in Zion to Kodachrome’s open view

Every mile feels sweeter walking next to you

Chorus

Now I’m safe in your arms, it’s where I belong

Every day with you feels like my favorite song

When you walk out the door, I can’t wait ‘til you’re back

I count down the moments ‘til you’re here at last

I’m grateful for all of this love that we’ve known

Nathaniel, my love, my heart, you’re my home

Bridge

From the wild western nights to our own backyard fires

Swinging in hammocks, talking for hours

We’ve got dreams for the miles we haven’t yet seen

With you, the whole world feels like home to me

I’m safe in your arms, it’s where I belong

Every day with you feels like my favorite song

When you walk out the door, I can’t wait ‘til you’re back

I count down the moments ‘til you’re here at last

I’m thankful to God for the life that we’ve known

Nathaniel, my love, my heart, you’re my home

My favorite person that I’ve ever known
