Lyrics
[Verse 1] Some people walk in and the room gets warm Some people stand like a shelter in a storm Six of us kids, two girls and four boys The oldest one held the youngest through the noise [Chorus] You never left me behind Not once, not one time When the road got long and I was slow You waited up, you let me know Sister, you're a gift of mine You never left me behind [Verse 2] Every Sunday there's a pot on the stove Cornbread rising, doors wide open, come on home Plates stacked high and the table's full of love Sarah, you feed our hearts, and it's always enough From the day I was born till I got grown on my own You had my back, I was never alone [Chorus] You never left me behind Not once, not one time When the road got long and I was slow You waited up, you let me know Sister, you're a gift of mine You never left me behind [Bridge] Then January came and took our brother away His chair at the table sits empty today But you held us together when the cold wind blew We found our way to healing, 'cause we leaned on you [Verse 3] Now the sun comes back, a brand new day We're still a family, just a different way Strong as the roots of an old oak tree You carry us all, and you still carry me Sarah Acree, there's only one like you The only awesome sister, and I'm grateful through and through [Chorus] You never left me behind Not once, not one time Through the loss and through the light You kept us close, you held us tight Sister, you're a gift of mine You never left me behind [Outro] Oldest and youngest, side by side Thank you, Sarah, for never leaving me behind
