A PIECE OF HOME (A tribute to Blue Star Moms)
HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM NASHVILLE'S DEMOLITION CREW!!!
Lyrics
A PIECE OF HOME
Jon D’Agostino and Tim Maggart, 2012
Somewhere in Arizona, in a humble little town
Hangs a blue star in a window of a heavy-hearted house
There's a mother baking brownies, like so many times before
Packing comfort into boxes, for Americans in war
She’s proud, but scared
She prays, they’re safe over there
She's in a sisterhood of healing
With a “you can’t break us” feeling
Mothers' hearts that beat from coast to coast
Yeah those Blue Stars shine the brightest
Sending heroes, a piece of home
The day her boy shipped off, he tried to hide the fear
Hugged his mama, said goodbye, and wiped away her tears
One night she hears the news of another fallen one
Walks into his bedroom, to touch a picture of her son
CHORUS 2
She’s proud, but scared
She prays, he’s safe over there
She needs a sisterhood of healing
That "you can’t break me” feeling
Mothers' who won’t let her feel alone
Yeah those Blue Stars shine the brightest
Sending heroes, a piece of home
Lord you gotta bring ‘em home
REPEAT CHROUS II
Somewhere in Carolina in a humble little town
Hangs a blue star in the window of a heavy-hearted house
