My People

Three in the morning, I was barely alive
One text, and their headlights came up the drive
Didn't ask me questions, they showed up at the door
That's the kind of love you can't ask for

So raise it up for the ones who never let go
The ride-or-die — you already know

These are my people
The ones who came running when I hit the wall
These are my people
I'd burn the whole world down before they fall
Love isn't in the words, it's in who shows
So glad I've got the family I chose
These are my people, these are my people
Home's not a place — it's wherever this family goes

We don't say "I love you," we say "get home safe tonight"
We show up with a bottle when you're not alright
Not a branch of the same tree, but we bleed the same
Just strangers in the noise who never once walked away

So raise it up for the ones who never let go
The ride-or-die — you already know

These are my people
The ones who came running when I hit the wall
These are my people
I'd burn the whole world down before they fall
Love isn't in the words, it's in who shows
So glad I've got the family I chose
These are my people, these are my people
Home's not a place — it's wherever this family goes

When the music fades and the night is done
They're still my people, every single one
Not 'cause it was easy, nothing to prove
They held my head up when I couldn't move

These are my people
The ones who came running when I hit the wall
These are my people
I'd burn the whole world down before they fall
Love isn't in the words, it's in who shows
So glad I've got the family I chose
These are my people, these are my people
Home's not a place — it's wherever this family goes

These are my people
These are my people
Every arm around me, every one I hold onto
These are my people — the ones who pulled me through
