[Verse 1]
Morning comes slow
Over cedar and stone
Smoke from the chimneys
Rising straight through the cold
Old dogs on the porch
Kids kicktin' a tin can
River runnin' silver
Past the mill and the sand

[Pre-Chorus]
And the whole town knows
Where the day will go
By the church bell ring
And the apple trees glow

[Chorus]
This is home, this is home
Under the mountain glow
This is home, this is home
Where the slow creek runs below
(oh, this is home)
We keep our hearts open wide
In a village on the hill
Where the peace stays still

[Verse 2]
Mrs. June out front
With a basket of beans
Mr. Clay by the store
Telling stories between
Lanterns on the fence
Catch the last of the light
Grandma hums low
As she quilts through the night

[Pre-Chorus]
And the whole town knows
When the shadows grow
There’s a fire in the stove
And a place to go

[Chorus]
This is home, this is home
Under the mountain glow
This is home, this is home
Where the slow creek runs below
(oh, this is home)
We keep our hearts open wide
In a village on the hill
Where the peace stays still

[Bridge]
If the road gets long
And your boots wear thin
Come back up here
Let the quiet pull you in
Frost on the rail
And a hymn in the air
Every door on the lane
Says you’re wanted here

[Chorus]
This is home, this is home
Under the mountain glow
This is home, this is home
Where the slow creek runs below
(oh, this is home)
We keep our hearts open wide
In a village on the hill
Where the peace stays still
