LyricMeaning

North
Sleeping At Last

We will call this place our home
The dirt in which our roots may grow
Though the storms will push and pull
We will call this place our home

We'll tell our stories on these walls
Every year measure how tall
And just like a work of art
We'll tell our stories on these walls

Let the years we're here be kind, be kind
Let our hearts, like doors, open wide - open wide
Settle our bones, like wood, over time - over time
Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine

A little broken a little new
We are the impact and the glue
Capable more than we know
We call this fixer-upper home

With each year our color fades
Slowly our paint chips away
But we will find the strength and the nerve it takes
To repaint and repaint and repaint everyday

Let the years we're here be kind, be kind
Let our hearts, like doors, open wide - open wide
Settle our bones, like wood, over time - over time
Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine

Let the years we're here be kind, be kind
Let our hearts, like doors, open wide - open wide
Settle our bones, like wood, over time - over time
Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine

Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine

Smaller than dust on this map
Lies the greatest thing we have
The dirt in which our roots may grow
And the right to call it home
