Among Family

Music and Lyrics by Greg House and Kate House

Verse 1:

Take a right at the place where
the dirt road makes a T
Keep going till you see the sign
with a shamrock that reads Kelley
When you get there I promise
you’ll find a lake with water so clear
You can see the clam shells
from the dock that Grampa made

Chorus:

Whatever the storm
that brought you by
welcome to its eye
Whatever the wind
that blew you in
welcome are the weary
Among family

Verse 2:

Fireside story time
Embers fly among the stars
Do you remember we used to come
with only the gas to get us this far
Listen to the lap of the waters
against the rock-rimmed shore
There’s a wisdom in the water
so let it wash your cares away

Bridge:

A fridge for a ring
This land for a promise
they made 60 years ago
To have and to hold
and leave behind
this legacy

Chorus 2:

Whatever the storm
that brought you by
together we’ll survive
Whatever the wind
that blew you in
Welcome are the weary
Among family
