Verse 1 Hey sweet girl, I know your world Feels heavy in your hands They’ve tried to break your shining heart By doin’ what they can But I’ve loved your daddy long enough To know the man he is And he would burn the world to ash Just to hear you laugh again Pre-Chorus And every night I tuck my babies in, they whisper through their tears “Tell her we’re still waiting—she belongs right with us here.” Chorus We see the finish line, please stay strong Hold on a little longer, girl, soon you’ll be where you belong Your families in the fire and we ain’t ever movin’ on We’ll be a family someday soon, this pain won’t last for long We see the finish line—please stay strong Verse 2 You don’t know me like you will But I’m already in your corner I’ll stand beside the both of you Through chaos, storm, or order You’re part of somethin’ bigger now With love that fights and bleeds And I’ll lift you up the day you fall Just lean on me and breathe Pre-Chorus 2 My kids keep askin’ every night, “How long until she’s home?” And I say, “Love is worth the wait—she won’t face this alone.” Chorus We see the finish line, please stay strong Hold on a little longer, girl, soon you’ll be where you belong Your families in the fire and we ain’t ever movin’ on We’ll be a family someday soon, this pain won’t last for long We see the finish line—please stay strong Bridge One day we’ll light a campfire and finally feel the peace Watch you smile without the fear held underneath We’ll dance barefoot in the kitchen, let the broken pieces mend And you will never have to wonder who’s with you to the end Final Chorus (Lifted) ’Cause we see the finish line, just hold on You’re stronger than the storm that’s tryin’ to drag you along Your families on the front line, and girl, we’re fighting on We’ll be a family arm-in-arm where your heart has always belonged We see the finish line Baby, please—stay strong Outro (Soft) We’re waiting… We’re praying… And we’re coming, girl—just hold on.
