Safe At Home - Ray Stevens

Remember back when working hard

That baseball games and grandma jar

Appetites grew strong in the Georgia sun

'Bout the time you could smell the meal

With clean hand in center field

Someone would holler at, «Dinners on»

And no matter who the battle won

We’d stop and drop our baseball gloves

Head for the water pump to wash our hands

All stars bowed their heads in grace

Each one with its own home plate

Filled with the fruits of their labor from our land

And we were family

Family with resemblances too strong for us to see

We’re family, ageless family

And safe at home is all we longed to be

I can still see little brother’s face

As he slit wide eyed in the second base

And countless times I’ve wished we could return

It’s in that moment seems so clear

Just who we are, why we’re here

And I pray that someday soon the world will learn

We’re family

Big family with resemblances too strong for us to see

We’re family, ageless family

And safe at home is all we longed to be
