Words fail us really , the understanding and support we have received from artists, comedians and people around us but in particular from Jess has been profound. This track is just awesome.

lyrics

Verse 1
G D
Eighteen years old with a guitar in hand
Em C
And some words about hope, fear and rage
G D
I found the people that would understand
Em C
As I stood there trembling on that stage

Verse 2
This place it taught me about family
And it showed me just what it means
To make a stand in solidarity
And to never let go of your dreams

Pre-Chorus
Em C
Now, they may dig to our very foundations
G D
Send the wolves to the door
Em C
And the trees they'll pull down lie on our hallowed ground
G D
And they'll grow back again like before
Em C
They'll try to make it all seem hopeless
G D
Send their dust clouds to block out the light
C G D
But they can be damn well sure we'll keep up the fight

Chorus
G D
‘Cause this is our sanctuary, this is our home
Em C
A place we feel safe and a place where we know
G D
That we can all be unashamedly us
C D
Waiving the red flag and making a fuss (giving a fuck)

G D
This is our harbour when the wild winds blow
Em C
This is our gold at the end of the rainbow
G D
This is our garden a place we can grow
C D
Where we’re never alone

This is our home
G D Em C

Verse 3
Now ten years later I’m still sitting here
Under that frame hanging there on the wall
We’ve had some laughs and we’ve shed some tears
Over the things worth fighting for


Verse 4
We’ve raised our fist up and we’ve made some noise
And our sorrows we have drowned
With Katie and the wild boys
In this world turned upside down

Pre-Chorus
Now, they may dig to our very foundations
Send the wolves to the door
And the trees they'll pull down lie on our hallowed ground
And they'll grow back again like before
They'll try to make it all seem hopeless
Send their dust clouds to block out the light
But they can be damn well sure we'll keep up the fight

Chorus
‘Cause this is our sanctuary, this is our home
A place we feel safe and a place where we know
That we can all be unashamedly us
Waiving the red flag and not giving up

This is our harbour when the wild winds blow
This is our gold at the end of the rainbow
This is our garden a place we can grow
Where we’re never alone

Bridge
Em
Established two thousand
C
Twenty three years
G
Of music and comedy
D
Blood, sweat and tears

Em
Singing our hearts out
C
Watching the bands
G
Raising our fists
D
And making a stand


Chorus
‘Cause this is our sanctuary, this is our home
A place we feel safe and a place where we know
That we can all be unashamedly us
Waiving the red flag and giving a fuck

This is our harbour when the wild winds blow
This is our gold at the end of the rainbow
This is our garden a place we can grow
Where we’re never alone

This is our home
