Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We never found the castle
Or roses on the road
Reality came hard and fast
With more than hearts could hold
The shadows chased our faith some nights
And tried to steal our hope
But every time the world bent us
We held on and learned to grow
[Pre-Chorus]
Fairytales all fade away
When the final page is closed
But love that makes it through the fire
Knows what the storybooks don’t
[Chorus]
We didn’t get the fairytale
But we got something real
A love that bears the scars of life
And still remembers how to heal
Through every wind, through every drought
When hope was running low
We planted faith beneath this ground
And watched our family grow
No, we didn’t get the fairytale
We found what fairytales don’t know
[Verse 2]
We turned this old farmhouse
Into the dream we shared
Built a home from sacrifice
And filled each room with prayer
Then Heaven gave us three sons
Three reasons to believe
We taught them strength through struggle
And the courage not to leave
[Pre-Chorus]
We fed the seeds and gave them light
And shelter from the cold
Now love stands tall within these fields
More precious than gold
[Chorus]
We didn’t get the fairytale
But we got something real
A love that bears the scars of life
And still remembers how to heal
Through every wind, through every drought
When hope was running low
We planted faith beneath this ground
And watched our family grow
No, we didn’t get the fairytale
We found what fairytales don’t know
[Bridge — Duet]
Her: The wind came for the harvest
Him: The dry earth begged for rain
Her: We covered what was fragile
Him: And loved it through the pain
Together: And someday past these wheat fields
When every trial is gone
We’ll walk through Heaven’s pearly gates
Still holding on
[Final Chorus]
We didn’t get the fairytale
We got a sacred life
A home built out of sacrifice
A husband and a wife
Three sons who bear the seeds we sowed
With roots that won’t let go
A family bound by faith and love
That only stronger grows
No, we didn’t get the fairytale
But darling, now we know
We found something deeper
Than fairytales could show
[Outro]
Just a farmhouse full of true love
And more than fairytales could know
