Intro] (
Warm
electric
guitar
solo
with
a
gentle
shuffle
beat) (
Hammond
organ
swells

the
background)
[Verse 1] We
cannot
write
our
story
only
on
the
sunny
miles
No,
it
takes
the
heavy
rain
to
make
the
landscape
grow
We’
ve
known
the
sharp,
protective
heat
of
sudden
arguments
The
doors
that
closed
too
hard,
the
words
we
spoke
too
low
Yeah,
we
been
through
the
valley
where
the
shadows
like
to
play
But
every
storm
we
survived
just
proved
the
foundation
holds
today.
For
you
are
my
everything
[Chorus] We
didn't
walk
away,
we
just
held
on
tighter
Turning
the
dim
light
into
something
brighter
Building
this
life
on
the
ground
we
fought
to
save
Finding
our
rhythm
in
the
promises
we
gave
Yeah,
we're
building
it
stone
by
stone
With
a
love
that
we
can
call
our
own
[Verse 2] I
remember
the
quiet
creeping
in
after
the
noise
The
long
midnight
talks
where
the
anger
would
fade
Learning
the
art
of
how
to
bend
without
breaking
Rebuilding
the
peace
from
the
mistakes
we
made
It
wasn't
easy,
Lord
knows
it
took
its
toll
But
it
put
a
deeper
fire
right
inside
my
soul.
You're
my
melody
[Chorus] We
didn't
walk
away,
we
just
held
on
tighter
Turning
the
dim
light
into
something
brighter
Building
this
life
on
the
ground
we
fought
to
save
Finding
our
rhythm
in
the
promises
we
gave
Yeah,
we're
building
it
stone
by
stone
With
a
love
that
we
can
call
our
own
[Bridge] Now
we
look
ahead
at
the
blueprint
we
are
drawing
A
house
built
of
patience,
of
laughter,
and
of
grace
I
see
the
future
in
the
way
you
plan
our
mornings
The
dream
of
little
footsteps
filling
up
the
space
Oh,
it's
a
vision
clear
as
day
We’
re
clearing
all
the
weeds
out
of
the
way [
Guitar
Solo] (
Extended,
bluesy,
soulful
guitar
licks
over
a
steady
shuffle
groove)
[Verse 3] So
let
the
years
roll
by
like
a
river
to
the
sea
You’
re
still
the
only
one
I
ever
wanted
here
with
me
We
turned
the
wreckage
into
a
sanctuary
wall
Standing
side
by
side,
yeah,
we’
re
standing
proud
and
tall
No
matter
what
comes,
we’
ve
got
this
steady
beat
Living
in
the
love
that
makes
our
life
complete.
You're
my
forever
person
[Chorus] We
didn't
walk
away,
we
just
held
on
tighter
Turning
the
dim
light
into
something
brighter
Building
this
life
on
the
ground
we
fought
to
save
Finding
our
rhythm
in
the
promises
we
gave
Yeah,
we're
building
it
stone
by
stone
With
a
love
that
we
can
call
our
own
[Outro] Building
on
the
ground
we
saved
Yeah,
the
love
we
made
Just
holding
on
tighter,
baby (
Harmonica

out
over
the
walking
bass
line) (
Final
guitar
chord
rings
out
warm
and
long) [
