Verse 1 The porch swing rocks without a sound, Sun’s sinking low behind the pines. She reaches over, takes his hand… Like she has done a thousand times. Grandkids laughing in the backyard, Fireflies waking one by one. He smiles and says, “Can you believe… Look what we’ve become?” Pre-Chorus She laughs and shakes her head… “There were days I wasn’t sure…” “Funny how the hardest roads… Lead you somewhere beautiful.” Chorus We walked through fire… We crossed deep water… There were nights We thought we’d go under. But every tear… Every prayer… Was laying one more timber there. For this old porch… These weathered chairs… These little voices everywhere. We thought we were just making it through… God was making something new. ⸻ Verse 2 That screen door still complains a little, Just like it did back years ago. Back when supper came from coupons… And love was all we had to show. She remembers crying softly, Thinking no one heard at all. He remembers praying in the truck… Before he’d walk back through the door. ⸻ Chorus We walked through fire… We crossed deep water… There were nights We thought we’d go under. But every tear… Every prayer… Was laying one more timber there. For this old porch… These weathered chairs… These little voices everywhere. We thought we were just making it through… God was making something new. ⸻ Bridge “If I could change one thing…” He stops. She turns and smiles. He whispers… “Not a single mile.” “Because without those valleys… Without those tears… We’d never have… …all of this.” ⸻ Final Chorus We walked through fire… We crossed deep water… Never once Did He stop leading farther. Now every scar… Has found its place. Every wrinkle wears His grace. These old hands… Still side by side… After all this borrowed time. We spent our whole lives… Asking God… To get us through the fire. Now we’re thanking Him… For building this… Inside the flames.
