You Stayed Steady

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a porch light on a gravel road That never seems to fade It's burned through every winter storm And every sky of gray I came to you with broken wings And a heart still learning how to stay [Chorus] When I fell, you picked me up When I pushed, you stayed steady You took me as I am, flaws and all And loved me till my heart was ready Harry, thank you for the way you stand Holding all of us in your two hands [Verse 2] I tested every limit, love I tried to make you run But you just poured another cup And waited for the sun You never asked me to be new You just let the old wounds mend with you [Chorus] When I fell, you picked me up When I pushed, you stayed steady You took me as I am, flaws and all And loved me till my heart was ready Harry, thank you for the way you stand Holding all of us in your two hands [Bridge] Two families at one long table Two sets of laughter, one refrain Different roots, but one tall tree Growing stronger through the rain [Verse 3] Now there are more chairs around the fire More voices calling home And every one of them can see What love can build from stone You gave us more than shelter, Harry You gave us all a place to grow [Chorus] When I fell, you picked me up When I pushed, you stayed steady You took us as we were, flaws and all And made one family out of many Harry, thank you for the way you stand Holding all of us in your two hands [Outro] The porch light's still burning on Just like you, so steady and strong Thank you for loving me as I am My heart is home, my heart is home
