Lyrics

What didn't kill us only made us stronger
We've been through hell but we still walk on
Body's tired from walking through the jungle
But with each step we're a little bit closer to home
Oh oh oh -- closer to home

We've been through such trials
But we bounce back
And it brings us together
You may think someday we'll forget
But we never will
You do your best to knock us down
You don't fight fair
You make us falter
But we have no choice
Our spirit stands up still

Chorus

Our hearts are heavy with loss
But filled with life and laughter
As we do the daily grind
And wait for the next scene in the play
I have not seen the blueprints
I don't know what's coming after
But there's no doubt
We'll get through anything you throw our way

Chorus

So we will ride the bumpy ride
On the wings of a chorus
And every storm you brave is another chance to grow
Guided by the loved ones
Who have done all this before us
It's not always obvious when they're leading us
Closer to home

Chorus

Closer to home -- everyday just a little bit....
