Nichole Nordeman – Anywhere We Are

Lyrics: Anywhere We Are by Nichole Nordeman

Into every life
A little rain must fall, or so they say
We have seen our share
Of storms, you might agree

We learned early
Don’t hold tightly to the things that might not stay
Love what matters
And you matter most to me

So when the wind blows in
And carries us away
This is what we say
To every hurricane

Love don’t need a roof
Love don’t need four walls
You can say my name
I’ll come anytime you call

So let the storms roll in
Let the shingles fly
Love is not the fence we built around our lives
And anywhere we are, I’m alright

We dig cellars, we lay sandbags
Board the glass and pack the old van
We heed warnings ’til we’re headed out of town

But we do not always make it
We are sometimes overtaken
We are not as fast as every funnel cloud

So when the siren sounds and when we close our eyes
This is what we say to swirling skies

Love don’t need a roof
Love don’t need four walls
You can say my name
I’ll come anytime you call

So let the storms roll in
Let the shingles fly
Love is not the fence we built around our lives
And anywhere we are, I’m alright

One day out in the meadow
I will stop where the old oak grows
I will lay some yellow flowers down for you
Or maybe you will lay them down for me
And this is what we’ll say to that old tree

Love don’t need a roof
Love don’t need four walls
You can say my name
I’ll come anytime you call

So let the branches bend
Dance into the wind
Whisper every memory to the night
‘Cause anywhere we are, I’m alright
