[Verse 1]
GCG
We will call this place our home,
GCG
the dirt in which our roots may grow.
EmCG
though the storms will push and pull,
EmCG
we will call this place our home.
[Verse 2]
GCG
We'll tell our stories on these walls.
GCG
every year, measure how tall.
EmCG
and just like a work of art,
EmCG
we'll tell our stories on these walls.
[Chorus]
CEmGD
Let the years we're here be kind, be kind.
CEmGD
Let our hearts, like doors, open wide, open wide.
EmDCG
Settle our bones like wood over time, over time.
EmCG
Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine.
[Verse 3]
GCG
A little broken, a little new.
GCG
We are the impact and the glue.
EmCG
Capable of more than we know,
EmCG
we call this fixer-upper home.
[Verse 4]
GCG
With each year, our color fades.
GCG
Slowly, our paint chips away.
EmC
But we will find the strength
GD
and the nerve it takes
EmDCDG
to repaint and repaint and repaint every day.
[Chorus]
CEmGD
Let the years we're here be kind, be kind.
CEmGD
Let our hearts, like doors, open wide, open wide.
EmDCG
Settle our bones like wood over time, over time.
EmCG
Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine.
[Chorus]
CEmGD
Let the years we're here be kind, be kind.
CEmGD
Let our hearts, like doors, open wide, open wide.
EmDCG
Settle our bones like wood over time, over time.
EmCG
Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine.
[Outro]
GCG
Smaller than dust on this map
GCG
lies the greatest thing we have:
EmCG
The dirt in which our roots may grow
EmCG
and the right to call it home.
