Chill Sloan - Life on 212th Lyrics

Stormy night in Maple Valley
Winds are high and howlin' loud
Lights went out we're all in darkness
But the neighbors know what to do now
Bredehofts' door is wide open
Fire's cracklin' drawing us in
No phones no screens just the people
And the stories we're living in

This is life on two twelth
Where the fir trees crash but we stand tall
No one left out in the cold
We gather close and we share it all
Through the storm we hold each other
That's what community means
We're more than houses side by side
We're a family in between

The wind outside she's still raging
Fir trees bend and snap like twigs
But here inside the warmth is rising
From our laughter and what we give
We pass a cup share our stories
The kind you can't hear on a screen
Faces glowing in the firelight
In this moment we are seen

This is life on two twelth
Where the fir trees crash but we stand tall
No one left out in the cold
We gather close and we share it all
Through the storm we hold each other
That's what community means
We're more than houses side by side
We're a family in between

It's not the power lines that bind us
It's the way we reach out our hands
When the world outside's uncertain
We find our strength where we stand
In the heart of this stormy valley
We are rooted deep like the pines
No matter what the night brings us
We'll make it through just fine

This is life on two twelth
Where the fir trees crash but we stand tall
No one left out in the cold
We gather close and we share it all
Through the storm we hold each other
That's what community means
We're more than houses side by side
We're a family in between

So let the winds keep howlin
We've got a fire that won't go out
Here in Maple Valley
We know what life's about
No matter where you've come from
No matter where you've been
On two twelth we're together
And that's where life begins
