Safe At Home

Remember back when working hard
 That baseball games and grandma jar
 Appetites grew strong in the Georgia sun
 'Bout the time you could smell the meal
 With clean hand in center field
 Someone would holler at, "Dinners on"
 And no matter who the battle won
 We'd stop and drop our baseball gloves
 Head for the water pump to wash our hands
 All stars bowed their heads in grace
 Each one with its own home plate
 Filled with the fruits of their labor from our land
 And we were family
 Family with resemblances too strong for us to see
 We're family, ageless family
 And safe at home is all we longed to be
 I can still see little brother's face
 As he slit wide eyed in the second base
 And countless times I've wished we could return
 It's in that moment seems so clear
 Just who we are, why we're here
 And I pray that someday soon the world will learn
 We're family
 Big family with resemblances too strong for us to see
 We're family, ageless family
 And safe at home is all we longed to be
