Faith That Bends But Never Breaks

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Morning light through the kitchen pane Coffee brewing, soft refrain Thirty years of holding on Through every dusk and every dawn You're the quiet kind of brave The strong heart that love can't outweigh [Chorus] Oh Shell, you're the foundation Holding up this family tree Through the storms and through the silence You're the grace that carries me With faith that bends but never breaks You're the love that nothing takes [Verse 2] Four sweet children, five small hands Building castles in the sand We thought retirement would be ours Quiet years beneath the stars But life had other plans to write And you stood firm through every night [Chorus] Oh Shell, you're the foundation Holding up this family tree Through the storms and through the silence You're the grace that carries me With faith that bends but never breaks You're the love that nothing takes [Bridge] We argue now more than before But it's the weight we're fighting for To keep this family whole and true Every battle, I choose you [Verse 3] You carry your mother's tender days Honor your father in quiet ways You love a grandchild as your own Turning heartbreak into home Our boy still shines in every face And you hold his memory in this place [Chorus] Oh Shell, you're the foundation Holding up this family tree Through the storms and through the silence You're the grace that carries me With faith that bends but never breaks You're the love that nothing takes [Outro] So happy Mother's Day, my soulmate, my friend I'll love you, Shell, till the very end
