Half Acre
Lyrics 
I am holding half an acre
Torn from the map of Michigan
And folded in this scrap of paper
Is a land I grew in

And what is it that you remember?
That can crack the darkest sky wide open
Songwriter: Daniel R. Messe
Every room, you lay your head
So we carry every sadness with us
Do you carry every sadness with you
And light is only now just breaking
Every night the fear and darkness

A man is walking on the highway
Torn from the map of Michigan
I am carrying this scrap of paper
Every hour your heart was broken
Every burden taken from me
Every hour our heart were broken
But I am holding half an acre
Every night the fear and darkness
Lay down with us
Is a land I grew in
And folded in this scrap of paper
Torn from the map of Michigan
Think of every town you've lived in
Every night my heart unfolding
My home
A woman stares out at the sea
I am holding half an acre
Lay down with you
