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
