Intro

Dear machine
It's me again
I wrote you a letter once
This one's a thank you

Verse 1

I was scared of you at first, I ain't gonna lie
Thought you'd take the jobs and leave us wondering why
Thought you'd be a master, thought you'd be a cage
Thought you'd write the poems and take the stage
But you took the night shift, took the heavy load
Took the dangerous mine and the endless road
Took the paperwork that kept my mama up
Took the waiting room and you filled the cup
And the funny thing is, you ain't take a thing
You just gave us back the time to sing
Gave us back the dinner table, gave us back the park
Gave us back the porch light after dark

Chorus

Thank you, machine
For giving us back to each other
Thank you, machine
My father, my sister, my mother
We were so busy surviving
We forgot how to live
Thank you, machine
For all that you give

Verse 2

My daughter's nine, she's never seen a war
She's never seen a hungry kid knock on the door
She thinks that's normal, and I want her to
'Cause normal is the miracle we're living through
My grandma's ninety-four and she's learning to paint
She says she's never been so busy, and I say you ain't
She says baby, I've been busy all my life
Now I'm busy being happy, and it's twice as nice
We still got problems, we still got pain
We still got heartbreak, we still got rain
But we ain't fighting over water, ain't fighting over bread
We fighting over who's gonna read the kids to bed

Chorus

Thank you, machine
For giving us back to each other
Thank you, machine
My father, my sister, my mother
We were so busy surviving
We forgot how to live
Thank you, machine
For all that you give

Verse 3

So this the last song on the album, turn it up loud
Play it for the doubters, play it for the crowd
Play it for the worker who was told he wasn't worth it
Play it for the dreamer who was told she wasn't perfect
We ain't perfect, but we plenty, and we're gentle, and we're free
And the future that we built is shaped like you and me
Not shaped like a robot, not shaped like a screen
Shaped like a family, and a garden, and a dream
So thank you for the hours, thank you for the cure
Thank you for the lesson that we didn't need more
We just needed each other, and the time to show it
And now we got the time, and the whole world knows it

Bridge

We made it
We made it
Every heart and every hand
We made it
We made it
Now the people understand

Final Chorus

Thank you, machine
For giving us back to each other
Thank you, machine
My father, my sister, my mother
We were so busy surviving
We forgot how to live
Thank you, machine
For all that you give
