the night the roof blew away

She's crushed by the weight of the dawn

Eyes wide as the sun lights the dark

Strong roof of the house now is gone

Stars fade then go out one by one

Wind came like a train in the night

So loud she raged oh she raged

Arms sore holding on so tight

Two babies asleep by her side

Bird lands on the beam in the sun

Calls out for her mate then is gone

Blue sky where the roof used to be

Child stirs thank the stars thank the stars

Thank you for the stars and the sun

Grateful that the wind is now calm

A baby cry let's me know your alive

Nearly lost everything but not quite

Thank you for the bread that was spared

Grateful that the matches stayed dry

A baby cry let's me know your alive

We'll eat breakfast this mourn by the fire

Thank you for the neighbors came by

Grateful that their family's alright

A baby cry let's me know your alive

Make space by the fire hold me tight

Thank you for the line and strong trees

Grateful for the sun and the breeze.

Hang out everything that was soaked in the night

Thank you for the tarps that we found

Grateful for the friends who stopped by

Sound of hammers and song as we nailed them all down.

Thank you for this food tonight

Grateful as we gather outside

Quiet songs by the fire and storm debris

As the fireflies play hide and seek.

Thank you for the blankets and sheets

Grateful that they smell like the breeze

A baby stirs lets me know she found dreams

We're all safe now its ok off to sleep
