Janel

[Verse 1]
There's a castle on the corner of a quiet street
Where a story started nobody could beat
Two hearts colliding, moving way too fast
Buying up a home before the first month passed
Something in my bones said this was built to last

[Chorus]
Here's to the woman who never let me fall
Who held the family up when I couldn't be there at all
Through every battle, every late-night prayer
Janel, you're the reason I found my way back there
Strongest heart I know, and the answer to it all

[Verse 2]
You carried our first boy while I was overseas
Finished nursing school with him kicking at your knees
You never asked for easy, never once complained
Pinned that badge of honor with the ink still on your name
And Lord, you wore that courage like it ran inside your veins

[Chorus]
Here's to the woman who never let me fall
Who held the family up when I couldn't be there at all
Through every battle, every late-night prayer
Janel, you're the reason I found my way back there
Strongest heart I know, and the answer to it all

[Bridge]
Three elections, campaign signs across the yard
You stood beside me when the road got hard
Now you're healing people with your own two hands
Still the girl from that castle where it all began

[Verse 3]
Two grown boys with rings upon their hands
And a grandbaby learning how to stand
They got your fire, they got your faithful way
Every single one of them is living proof today
That a mama's love don't ever fade away

[Chorus]
Here's to the woman who never let me fall
Who held the family up when I couldn't be there at all
Through every battle, every late-night prayer
Janel, you're the reason I found my way back there
Strongest heart I know, and the answer to it all

[Outro]
From a castle door to a family tree
Janel, you're everything to me
