The Foundation Under Everything

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Twenty-five Septembers, and I'd choose them all again Same dirt road, same slow dance, same hand inside my hand You built a home from quiet strength, from grace and gentle fire Three kids, a life, a thousand nights — you're still my heart's desire [Chorus] You're the foundation under everything I am The steady in my restless, the answer to my plan Owynn, Femke, Anouk — they know it's true Every good thing in this family comes from loving you [Verse 2] I watch you in the morning light, coffee in your hand Mama to our growing kids, lover, partner, friend You held us through the hard years, you laughed us through the good And somehow you keep choosing us, the way I always knew you would [Chorus] You're the foundation under everything I am The steady in my restless, the answer to my plan Owynn, Femke, Anouk — they know it's true Every good thing in this family comes from loving you [Bridge] Tashie, my forever, my September bride There's no road I'd rather travel than the one right by your side [Verse 3] If I had a hundred lifetimes, I'd spend them all the same Whispering your name at night, building back our flame Tashie, you're my home, my grace, the love I can't outgrow Twenty-five years deep, my girl, and I'm still falling slow [Chorus] You're the foundation under everything I am The steady in my restless, the answer to my plan Owynn, Femke, Anouk — they know it's true Every good thing in this family comes from loving you [Outro] Tashie, I'd choose you, over and over again My lover, my forever, my beginning and my end
