Built on Us

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Through the highs and the lows, we hold on tight,
Even in the dark, we find the light

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Final Chorus]
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

[Outro (soft, reflective):]
Yeah, we built this life…
Line by line… side by side…
And I’d do it all again with you…
