From the recording Soar
"Where We Belong" is an intimate ballad that could be sung by a bride on the morning of her wedding, envisioning the life she and her partner will build together. The bare and honest vocal is the standout here, supported by intricate acoustic guitar, and swells of organ, accordion, and electric guitar.
Lyrics
Good morning lover
Can’t believe today’s the day
Two hearts together
Bound by the vows that we’ll say
As we stand before the preacher
I know mama’s gonna cry
But it’s not about today for me
It’s the rest of our lives
We’ll build a house
And build it strong
Fill it with dreams and love and memories
To last our whole lives long
And when the golden sun is setting
And the kids are grown and gone
There’ll be this house
Where we belong
Can you see the front porch
Where we can watch the rain
Sweet summer mornings
When we don’t have to do a thing
In the back we’ll have a garden patch
Where seeds of love are sown
This little house don’t look like much
But it’s our very own
We’ll build a house
And build it strong
Fill it with dreams and love and memories
To last our whole lives long
And when the golden sun is setting
And the kids are grown and gone
There’ll be this house
Where we belong
And when the wind rages
At our door
We’ll be stronger
Then we ever were before
They can shake the world
Like the branches of a tree
But the roots of our house are strong
Like our family
We’ll build a house
And build it strong
Fill it with dreams and love and memories
To last our whole lives long
And when the golden sun is setting
And the kids are grown and gone
There’ll be this house
Were we belong
