Thursday Song

Since I posted Safe and Sound last week, I have been hearing it everywhere. This week I am going a slightly different direction to link up with Goodnight Moon


I love Dierks Bentley, and this song gets to me every time. I love celebrating the different parts of America and values shared by all. In an election year it can seem like half the country hates the other half. There is so much more that unites us than separates us. 

"Home"
West, on a plane bound west
I see her stretching out below
Land, blessed mother land
The place where I was born

Scars, yeah she’s got her scars
Sometimes it starts to worry me
Cause lose, I don’t wanna lose
Sight of who we are

From the mountains high
To the wave crashed coast
There’s a way to find
Better days I know

It’s been a long hard ride
Got a ways to go
But this is still the place
That we all call home

Free, nothing feels like free
Though it sometimes means we don’t get along
Cause same, no we're not the same
But that’s what makes us strong


From the mountains high
To the wave crashed coast
There’s a way to find
Better days I know

It’s been a long hard ride
Got a ways to go
But this is still the place
That we all call home

Brave, gotta call it brave
To chase that dream across the sea
Names, and they signed their names
For something they believed

Red, how the blood ran red
And we laid our dead in sacred ground
Just think, wonder what they think
If they could see us now


It’s been a long hard ride
Got a ways to go
But this is still the place
That we all call home

It’s been a long hard ride
And I won’t lose hope
This is still the place
That we all call home

  2. I love this song. When I had my third miscarriage and was driving to the hospital this song came on and definitely helped me feel at peace with everything. Great pick!
