about
For my sister, Renée and for Chris, Ben, Stephanie, and Tiffany
lyrics
Hey Renée, here's ten thousand reasons you should come and stay
I built a garden with some flowers, you can grow and play
I locked the monsters all away for you, Renée
We didn't grow up in a bed of roses,
'Cause every night, terror came home
We were just children looking after children
Giving tears from down in our bones
But now you're here, here with me, where safe is home
Hey Renée, here's ten thousand reasons you should drive this way
Four hundred miles is not such a steep price to pay
And there's no dragon I won't slay for you, Renée
We didn't grow up in a bed of roses,
'Cause every night, terror came home
We were just children looking after children
Giving tears from down in our bones
But now you're here, here with me, where safe is home
Rescue comes in many forms
Black and white keys unlocked the door to this captive tidal wave
And I don't know where your healing lies
But I know what lies dormant inside
Can live again to breathe the light of a brand new day
Hey Renée
We didn't grow up in a bed of roses,
'Cause every night, terror came home
We were just children looking after children
Giving tears from down in our bones
But now you're here, here with me,
And know, you can always be
Where safe is home.
