Verse 1 I know every line in your favorite songs, Every story you’ve told a hundred times. I know how you laugh when something’s funny, And how your eyes light up when they meet mine. We’ve had front porch talks that lasted all night, Made memories ridin’ down old county roads. And every little piece of who I am today, Started with the love you chose to show. Pre-Chorus Some folks spend their whole lives searching, Wondering where they belong. I never had to wonder, Mama, You’ve been my home all along. Chorus You’re the heart that raised mine, The sunshine in my sky. The first one that I call when I laugh, And the first when I cry. You’re my best friend, my safe place, The one thing I know is true. If home is more than walls and windows, Then home has always been you. Verse 2 From school-day mornings to late-night talks, You’ve been right there through every change. Cheering me on when I found my wings, Picking me up when life got strange. You taught me kindness, you taught me grace, You taught me strength without a fight. And somehow every hard day gets easier, Just knowing you’re on my side. Pre-Chorus And every year that passes by, One thing stays the same. No matter where this road may lead, I’ll always know your name. Chorus You’re the heart that raised mine, The sunshine in my sky. The first one that I call when I laugh, And the first when I cry. You’re my best friend, my safe place, The one thing I know is true. If home is more than walls and windows, Then home has always been you. Bridge And when we’re old and gray someday, We’ll still be talking just the same. Sharing stories, sharing laughter, Calling each other by our nicknames. The world can turn a thousand times, The seasons all come rolling through. But there’ll never be another bond Quite like me and you. Final Chorus You’re the heart that raised mine, The sunshine in my sky. The reason every memory feels sweeter Looking back in time. You’re my best friend, my safe place, My answered prayer come true. If home is more than walls and windows, Then home has always been you. Outro Yeah, home has always been you… In every laugh, every hug, every “I love you.” Home has always been you.
