Half Acre

I am holding half an acre
 Torn from the map of Michigan
 And folded in this scrap of paper
 Is the land I grew in
 ♪
 Think of every town you've lived in
 Every room you lay your head
 And what is it that you remember
 Do you carry every sadness with you
 Every hour your heart was broken
 Every night the fear and darkness
 Lay down with you
 ♪
 A man is walking on the highway
 A woman stares out at the sea
 And light is only now just breaking
 So we carry every sadness with us
 Every hour our hearts were broken
 Every night the fear and darkness
 Lay down with us
 ♪
 But I am holding half an acre
 Torn from the map of Michigan
 I am carrying this scrap of paper
 That can crack the darkest sky wide open
 Every burden taken from me
 Every night my heart unfolding
 My home
