Built on Us

Life’s been an adventure since the day we met,

Didn’t know it then, but it ain’t finished yet

I never saw in me what you always knew,

But you stood by my side and saw me through

From a small front porch to a house full of dreams,

We built something stronger than it ever seemed

Through the highs and the lows, we hold on tight,

Even in the dark, we find the light

We’re headin’ east where the rain runs free,

Buildin’ a life for our family tree

We fight, yeah sometimes it runs deep,

Words get loud and the nights get steep

Days go by where the silence feels long,

But love brings us back where we belong

Stronger than before every time we fall,

You and me—we can weather it all

With faith in God and the love we’ve grown,

We built this life—we made it our own

You keep the home running, hold the world together,

Through the storms and the calm and the changing weather

Kids in your arms and your heart on your sleeve,

You give everything and still believe

I punch the clock, try to do my part,

But you’re the one who holds this heart

Every mile I drive, every check I bring,

It all means more ‘cause of the life we’ve built and the love we bring

Now we’re headin’ east where the skies turn gray,

To be with your daughter in a brand new place

Grandkids waiting with their open arms,

Pulling us close like a healing charm

We’re packin’ up with faith as our guide,

With you right here by my side

No matter where this road may go,

It’s home as long as your love I know

We’re headin’ east where the rain runs free,

Buildin’ a life for our family tree

We fight, but we always find our way,

Through every storm and every day

You are the one who keeps me true,

Loving God, and loving you

Stronger than before, that’s what we’ll be,

A family built on faith and unity

With God above and the life we’ve shown,

We built this life—we made it our own

Yeah, we built this life…

Line by line… side by side…

And I’d do it all again with you…
