See how we’ve taken all this sweet time to decide
Watered that tree, watched it grow another 50 feet high
Together, shared and strong
Step right in
Forever is not that long
Let’s begin
Feel this connection like the earth underneath me
I feel this connection if I'm here, there, or anywhere I stand
Feels right, up or down
We’ll see it through
The future, the here and now
Me and you
And it’s sweeping our childhood away
Hand in hand, we set off on our own
But Heaven’s not ours, and truth could be a game we play
Strip the branches bare, but the tree stands on its own
See how much we’ve grown
Pleasure takes its toll, people lose control every day
Hypocrites like us deserve a little trust along the way
Together, shared and strong, we try again
Forever is not that long
Let’s begin
Let’s begin
