Under the Same Sun

Intro

(Ohhh) Yeah, from Ledyard oak trees...

Verse

Grew up in Ledyard, small town dirt roads,

Ledyard High diploma, stories untold.

Met my Louis Jr., lifelong local boy,

Thirty-eight years wed, through every joy.

One brother, one sister, off in Ohio now,

Parents gone to dementia, two years apart somehow.

But Mama slipped away long before that call,

Alzheimer's stole her laugh, left me standin' tall.

Chorus

Mother of four, grandma to three,

One more grandbaby kickin' on the way.

Family's my anchor, through the ache and the grin,

Louis by my side, yeah, we'd do it again.

From Connecticut roots to California sun,

Dogs barkin' chaos, little ones on the run.

We're scattered like stars, but our hearts stay one,

Yeah, family forever, under the same sun.

Verse

Oldest son Louis the Third, hitched to sweet Emily,

Little Louis the Fourth, turnin' three, wild and free.

Packed up for Cali, chasin' her kin's shore,

Miss 'em fierce, but proud they got more.

James holdin' steady, single dad to Jace, nine years bold,

Capone the dog's guardin' their world of gold.

Kelly's got Mya and Cuddles, keepin' her company tight,

Laughter in the livin' room, every single night.

Chorus

Mother of four, grandma to three,

One more grandbaby kickin' on the way.

Family's my anchor, through the ache and the grin,

Louis by my side, yeah, we'd do it again.

From Connecticut roots to California sun,

Dogs barkin' chaos, little ones on the run.

We're scattered like stars, but our hearts stay one,

Yeah, family forever, under the same sun.

Verse

Youngest Allison's with Josh, baby Damon six months new,

In Groton, Connecticut, Zoey, Rex, Alina too.

Three dogs runnin' wild 'round that little one's feet,

Life's a sweet whirlwind, can't be beat.

Mama-in-law Parkinson's took her slow,

Daddy-in-law at ninety-seven, let his tired heart go.

Sadness after carin', but he lived full and true,

Lessons in love, that's what they left for me and you.

Chorus

Mother of four, grandma to three,

One more grandbaby kickin' on the way.

Family's my anchor, through the ache and the grin,

Louis by my side, yeah, we'd do it again.

From Connecticut roots to California sun,

Dogs barkin' chaos, little ones on the run.

We're scattered like stars, but our hearts stay one,

Yeah, family forever... under the same sun.

Outro

(Under the same sun) Yeah... (family forever)

Ohhh, from Ledyard to the stars...
