Together

Down the aisle, hand in hand
No denial there was love
Together one, the master plan
To seek the garden far above

Altogether, step by step
Marching slowly side to side
Eyes look right, but nothing left
Beyond the drifting of the tide 

In the future we have goals
We hope will satisfy our needs
But as shoes are filled with holes
The earth begins to scar our feet

Once together we were fine
Like peas and carrots to the end
Towing faith across the line
Building castles in the sand

Now we’ve grown to be a part
Of something neither one can share
Oh, so distant shines the star
That once we followed with a prayer

There are times we are divided
When it’s hard to face the weather
But if we take what love provides us
We can face the storms together
