There'll be days, I know
Where the pain, it floods in slowly
But don't worry, we won't let you go
Where the hours roll like thunder
And the waves, they pull you under
Just remember, you are anchored to us
There'll be some summers when
You cannot outrun the wind
And summers that totally find you
But your heart is a steamboat
A weight that somehow floats
Believe in it
And it will take you home
We will help you get in
And get out of the car
On your way to and your way back
From the hospital
If you're scared, hold my hand
Take a breath and help me understand
In this family, death ain't got to be
A means to an end
Just another great line
In our storybook lives
Read to me
While you still have the choice
If your body ain't there
Then my heart still knows where
To look for you
When I need to hear your voice
