Stay Together

We Choose to Stay Together

We choose to stay together
Even though we’re far apart
Joined by the tether of 
Our children and longing of the heart
We could not face the pain
That giving up would bring
And so we must sustain
Our love despite our suffering
You are my savior prince
Whom I will not betray
Nor be your subject any less
You are close at hand but yet far away
Through the rivers may run swift 
The mountains turn into dust
I’ll wait as the years give away
Because I simply must
