Safe Home

All that stood steady is washing downstream
The creeks and the rivers have busted their seams
Thousands of people ran from their beds
Thousands of prayers were said

No peace in the morning, no holy dove
We wait and we worry for those that we love
Still we are searching ‘til all are safe
Making a way from no way

Ancestors’ hands, strength of this land
Care for our own
Be with us now as we shovel and plow
Keep us and lead us safe home
Keep us and lead us safe home

Sweat runs together, shoulders pull weight
We’re digging and building, changing our fate
Showing the world both near and far
What kind of people we are

Ancestors’ hands, strength of this land
Care for our own
Be with us now as we shovel and plow
Keep us and lead us safe home
Keep us and lead us safe home
Keep us and lead us safe home
