The Rails You Built for Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Morning light through the kitchen glass, Coffee brewing, another day to pass. Ten months ago the ground gave way, But someone stayed through the dark to stay. Steady hands and a quiet voice, Turning fear into a gentle choice. [Chorus] You are my hope, you are my peace, The steady hand that brings release. Through every storm, through every night, You hold me close and make it right. A love that family's built upon — Marc, my heart, you carry me on. [Verse 2] When I stumbled and hit the floor, You lifted me, then gave me more. You built the rails so I'd stand tall, You made a world where I wouldn't fall. Every corner you softened for me, Turning our house into safety. [Chorus] You are my hope, you are my peace, The steady hand that brings release. Through every storm, through every night, You hold me close and make it right. A love that family's built upon — Marc, my heart, you carry me on. [Bridge] Happy birthday to the one who fights, Who guards my days and warms my nights. No candle glows as bright as you — The bravest love I ever knew. [Verse 3] So here's to years we haven't seen, To gardens gold and skies of green. Whatever came to take me down, Your gentle strength has been my crown. I'll spend each breath just holding you, Marc, forever, faithful and true. [Chorus] You are my hope, you are my peace, The steady hand that brings release. Through every storm, through every night, You hold me close and make it right. A love that family's built upon — My darling Marc, you carry me on. [Outro] Happy birthday, love of mine, You are my peace through every time.
