THE FOUNDATION

The foundation

Braced against the storms

Never wavered

Relented or conformed

The foundation

Solid and unmoved

Was impassive

To hardship raging through

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Every beam in a structure

Has a reason to be there

They don’t last forever

But longer with your care

Tend every block and slab

Of concrete that you pour

Nurture your foundation

Or it won’t be there anymore

~~*~~

The foundation…

With all its cracks and scars

Has sustained us

The burdens that we are

The foundation

We've lived and grown upon

Finally weakens

We’ll fragment when it’s gone

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

Look at the foundation

With the excess weight removed

It is resilient

Delights in gratitude

Oh, the foundation

True backbone of a home

Desires we build up

Foundations of our own

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Every beam in a structure

Has a reason to be there

They don’t last forever

But longer with your care

Tend every block and slab

Of concrete that you pour

Nurture your foundation

Or it won’t be there anymore
