[Verse 1]

I am holding half an acre

Torn from the map of Michigan

And folded in this scrap of paper

Is the land I grew in

[Verse 2]

Think of every town you've lived in

Every room you lay your head

And what is it that you remember

[Chorus]

Do you carry every sadness with you

Every hour your heart was broken

Every night the fear and darkness

Lay down with you

[Verse 3]

A man is walking on the highway

A woman stares out at the sea

And light is only now just breaking

[Chorus]

So we carry every sadness with us

Every hour our hearts were broken

Every night the fear and darkness

Lay down with us

[Verse 4]

But I am holding half an acre

Torn from the map of Michigan

I am carrying this scrap of paper

[Chorus]

That can crack the darkest sky wide open

Every burden taken from me

Every night my heart unfolding

My home
