Holding a monument

Here is my lover
Though I haven't met her
I long for her arms
And I wish she was here
A voice is my prayer
She says I'm not alone
I'm safe from all harm
And free from all fear

[Chorus]
We're holding a blessing
We're holding a monument
Holding and kissing
Feels like a million

We're holding a blessing
We're holding a monument
Holding and kissing
Feels like a million

Here is my brother
From a different father
And a different mother
But my brother all the same
We're here on a journey
Unlike any other
But when we're together
Life calls us by our name

[Chorus]
We're holding a blessing
We're holding a monument
Holding and kissing
Feels like a million

We're holding a blessing
We're holding a monument
Holding and kissing
Feels like a million

Your name sounds southern
But you're like the North
I'm trying to be gentle
But I've got way too much force
You wish you had silver
And you wish you had gold
You wish you had someone
To have and to hold

[Chorus]
We're holding a blessing
We're holding a monument
Holding and kissing
Feels like a million

We're holding a blessing
We're holding a monument
Holding and kissing
Feels like a million
