Backbone and All

[Verse 1]
Dad’s the bridge
Steady and straight
Mum’s the path
Winding but great
He’s the hammer
She’s the nail
Both keep the ship from setting sail

[Prechorus]
And when the winds howl through the trees
She’s the roots
Holding steady with ease

[Chorus]
If Dad is the backbone
Mum’s all the other bones
Every one
From the toes to the crown
Keeping it up
Keeping us sound

[Verse 2]
She’s the laughter on a quiet day
The blanket when the cold won’t stay away
He’s the lock
She’s the key
Together they’re a whole symphony

[Prechorus]
And when the storm shakes every door
She’s the calm
The heart at the core

[Chorus]
If Dad is the backbone
Mum’s all the other bones
Every one
From the toes to the crown
Keeping it up
Keeping us sound
