[Verse] Sunlight slips through the kitchen screen Dust on the photos, faded and green I see the weight that you’ve been carryin’ round Girl, you deserve more than that heavy crown [Verse] The world moves fast(but here we go slow) Rocking chair creaking (let the hours just go You could sit down for cookies and tea (Let the warm in, just you and me) Just you and me! [Pre-Chorus] No more measuring up to somebody’s score Feel free — (that door ain’t locked anymore) [Chorus] This is what you’ve asked for in all those prayers (A little peace, a little room, a little air) Be what you want to be, darlin’, startin’ now Some days you’re down, but I see you standin’ proud So raise your eyes, let that sorrow fade away (Love and joy found you) — today is your happy day [Verse] The signs in Woodbury don’t know your name (empty bars can’t hold back the rain) But this porch light’s on, and it’s waitin’ for you To come back home to what’s best and true (my heart knows it belong here with you) [Pre-Chorus] Drop the armor, love, lay your guns down on the floor You're free — (ain't gonna fight that stupid war) [Chorus] This is what you’ve asked for in your prayers A little love, a little room(a room for two) Be what you want to be, darlin’, startin’ now Some days you’re down, (i am standin' proud!) So raise your eyes, lay down, let that sorrow fade away Love and joy found you — (today is a happy day) [Bridge] You deserve more than the shadows you knew (Than the miles of “almost” had to walk through) So come with me, take it slow, sweet breath We’re alive, ain’t we? (That’s better than death) [Final Chorus] This is what you’ve asked for — can you feel it stay? (Be what you want to be, light the way) Some days are good, some days are bad, ( but not this time, now way) Love and joy right here — (today is my happy day) Yeah, today is your happy day!
