Threads
Tali Ettlinger & Mitch Collins

V1:
I can still hear the porch boards creaking under Grandma’s rocking chair
Where she’d mend the knees on my old blue jeans when they’d wear out and tear.
Speaking softly as she sewed, she’d say our lives are like these clothes
The patches and stitches we bear, mark the pain we have known.

Chorus:
(She'd talked ‘bout)
Threads, mending us when we’re in shreds,
Healing us as we move ahead,
The strength is in our threads.

V2:
When life feels in pieces I search for strands to make me whole
A bible verse, a friend’s kind words, a mountain view to soothe my soul.
But Grandma taught me how to find the finest fibers deep inside
Cords of courage, faith and will to guide me through my darkest times.

Chorus:
Threads, mending us when we’re in shreds,
Healing us as we move ahead,
The strength is in our threads

Bridge:
Now I’m sitting in her rocking chair holding on…
...to a patchwork quilt that she made as my fingers move along those..

Repeat Chorus
