Verse 1
Foundations
Muddy boots and iron wills
Dug through the red clay
Blood on the plow share
Seasons changed
Rough hands built the wooden frames
Rough hearts made a name
Found a way
Chorus
Two hundred and fifty summers
Stronger for the rain
Heavy as the harvest
Deeper than the name
Wide across the mountains
Long across the plains
Steady like the river
Through the joy and pain
Post-Chorus
Oh oh
Quarter of a thousand years
Oh oh
Verse 2
Grandad saw the ship come in
Water against the hull
Cold wind on the neck
Tough talk on the dock
Now we stand
Looking at the banner wave
Looking at the land we gave
Breath and bone
Solid stone
Chorus
Two hundred and fifty summers
Stronger for the rain
Heavy as the harvest
Deeper than the name
Wide across the mountains
Long across the plains
Steady like the river
Through the joy and pain
Post-Chorus
Oh oh
Quarter of a thousand years
Oh oh
Bridge
They lived
They died
They tried
Working for the little ones
Walking for the miles ahead
Praying for the daily bread
A debt we can't ever pay back
A path on a one way track
Chorus
Two hundred and fifty summers
Stronger for the rain
Heavy as the harvest
Deeper than the name
Wide across the mountains
Long across the plains
Steady like the river
Through the joy and pain
Outro
Quarter of a thousand
Keep it going
Keep the flame
Always going
For the home
For the home
Two fifty
Two fifty
