Adjoining In the Sunrise

We climbed up a mountain, just he and I
      Never said a word, yet we said it all
      Wondering what it would be like to fall
As the sun lit up the now nearby sky
Lighting two figures who stood eye to eye
      Two hearts beat as one, two hearts beating true
      Beating together as the sky turned blue
We flowed down the mountain, just he, just I
The world waited for us to come down
      The flow seemed to stop, and he looked at me
      Touched my hand as we turned into the sea
Not caring as the worldly awaited us below
      We joined together as two, joined, may be
      Such innocence the world does not know
