"Red Rover" - Jordan Ware

(Jordan Ware, (c) 2008)

Verse One
It's been almost 7,000 days
Seems like it's tons of time
But 7,000 days is not enough
When you've got a mom like mine
Nearly 19 years of memories
All packed into my head
Some are of exciting things we've done
Some are just of simple things you've said
I won't forget all of your lessons taught
Be in the world but don't be of it
Don't take what isn't yours
Love everyone and do not covet
But the thing I know will last forever
Beyond the fun and the late night talks
Is how you showed me that our Saving Lord
Has the key to make our hearts unlock
My heart's unlocked

Chorus
It'll be alright when the dust blows over
Nothing has to change from how it was before
Say Red Rover, Red Rover send my baby home
And I'll show up at your front door
It'll be alright when the storm blows over
The sun will rise just like it did before
Say Red Rover, Red Rover send my baby home
And I'll show up at your front door

Verse Two
I'm gonna miss always coming home
To a house so full of life
It didn't matter what the time of day
You would wait up half the night
You couldn't sleep until the doors were locked
And everyone was all tucked in
Then you'd be up right at the crack of dawn
When it all would start again
Try to count the times you said I love you
Two times infinity minus four
And though I knew it was impossible
I always said I love you more
I love you more
