Lyrics
On the day we brought you home
Miles of winter road behind
We introduced you to your sister
Our little family defined
Verse 2
Our home loud, sometimes chaotic
Crayon drawings on the walls
Singin roosters, tuna foldies
Breakfast picnic with the dog
Verse 3
I remember the day you
Threw the cat out of the loft
but he quickly turned the tables
and your landing wasn't soft.
Verse 4
Growing pains and giggles too
Filled those early days
Nothing ever perfect
Still we found a way
Chorus
Look at you now, so strong
Finding where you belong
It wasn’t always easy
Side by side, we’ve watched you grow
Not picture perfect, just real
Wouldn’t change how it feels
You’re ours, always
And we’re so proud of you
Verse 5
Scrappin sisters side by side
Became best friends over time
"does this hurt? poke the bruise"
now it’s "Hey girl, pass the booze"
Bridge
We didn’t choose perfect
We just chose love
From that first moment
You were enough
Chorus
Look at you now, so strong
Finding where you belong
It wasn’t always easy
Side by side, we’ve watched you grow
Not picture perfect, just real
Wouldn’t change how it feels
You’re ours, always
And we’re so proud of you
Outro
Time’s flown by, we’re older now
Some dreams reached, some left behind
We’re growing old together, watching you find your way
And it's OK
it's OK
(repeat and fade)
