Every word has a story.

Thank You, America

Thank You, America

I first opened up my eyes beneath these stars so bright, But life would take me far away before I knew this light. Across the sea I learned to dream beneath another sky, Yet something kept on calling me, a place I had to find. Twenty-five years later, I finally came back home, Not to where I was raised, but where my heart belonged. Red, white and blue, forever flying free, Waving in the summer wind means everything to me. From the southern pines to the Atlantic shore, Every mile I travel makes me love this country more. The western mountains still are waiting there for me. Thank you, America, for welcoming me. I've driven country highways underneath the Texas sun, Found strangers who became my friends before the day was done. I've watched the sunrise paint the fields in colors bold and true, And every road reminds me why I fell in love with you. No matter where tomorrow leads, these roads will carry me. I've found a place where hope still lives and dreams can still be free. I'll always hold this grateful heart for all you've helped me see. Thank you, United States of America, for welcoming me. Red, white and blue, forever flying free, Waving in the summer wind means everything to me. From the southern pines to the Atlantic shore, Every mile I travel makes me love this country more. One day I'll see the western mountains reaching to the sky. Until then I'll wave this flag with gratitude and pride. Thank you, America, for welcoming me.

When the Helper Needs Help

You've been the steady voice inside the storm, The calm that tells a stranger, "Help is on the way." You've carried fear for people you may never meet, And held them through the darkest kind of day. But now the call has reached your own front door, And there are no easy answers left to give. So when your strength is shaking in your hands, Lean into ours, and let us help you stand. When the helper needs help, we'll answer the call, When your knees cannot hold you, we won't let you fall. Keep fighting for your love, keep holding his hand, And when you have nothing, beside you we'll stand. We'll pray when the words will not come through your tears, We'll carry the hope when it's buried in fear. Whatever tomorrow may ask you to face, You will not face it alone in this place. We see you beside him through the endless nights, Still whispering love where silence fills the room. We see every prayer you breathe against his skin, Asking God to somehow pull him through. You do not have to hide how scared you are, You do not have to always be the strong one. There is no shame in breaking in our arms, We'll hold the pieces when the tears finally come. And if the miracle comes, we will praise Him beside you. If the road turns another way, we'll still walk it with you. Through every hard question, through anger and pain, Through every tomorrow that won't look the same. You have spent your life sending help through the night, Now let us be your voices, your shelter, your light. When the helper needs help, we'll answer the call, When your knees cannot hold you, we won't let you fall. Keep fighting for your love, keep holding his hand, And when you have nothing, beside you we'll stand. We'll pray when the words will not come through your tears, We'll carry the hope when it's buried in fear. Whatever tomorrow may ask you to face, You will not face it alone in this place. No, you will not face it alone.
