Red Doors Back Home — A Song Inspired by Marbury Volunteer Fire Department returns home with a new station after the 2023 tornado

[Verse 1]
We lined our boots by a borrowed wall
Listening for the bell through the rain
The roof was gone, the map was torn
But the names on the coats stayed the same

[Pre-Chorus]
If the sky can break the house of the brave
Then hands can teach the broken beams to stand

[Chorus]
Red doors back home, open up the thunder
Red doors back home, let the engines breathe
We were thrown like sparks, still we answered the dark
Now the floor holds the weight underneath
Red doors back home, red doors back home

[Verse 2]
Concrete cured where the old fear slept
Steel ribs rose in the morning heat
Every bolt was a word we meant
Every tire left a promise under our feet

[Pre-Chorus]
We don't sing because the storm forgot
We sing because the siren found its throat

[Chorus]
Red doors back home, open up the thunder
Red doors back home, let the engines breathe
We were scattered like sparks, still we answered the dark
Now the floor holds the weight underneath
Red doors back home, red doors back home

[Bridge]
Call us when the black smoke climbs
Call us when the wires are down
A house can fall and still keep learning
How to carry the alarm

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]
Red doors back home, open up the thunder
Red doors back home, let the engines breathe
We were scattered like sparks, still we answered the dark
Now the floor holds the weight underneath
Red doors back home, red doors back home

[Outro]
The bell in our bones kept ringing
The red doors know our name.
