Let's Do a Life Together
*LET'S DO A LIFE TOGETHER*
Just before you say Yes to the priest
Wait a moment before you sign on it
Give me a moment to make you a pledge
A pledge I've made with myself long ago
Even before we are here to make a vow
A pledge that would be with me when the priest is no longer here
I've run a jungle at the darkest hour
I swam the river at the highest tides
Even on the oceans at rough current
Been in the wind in turbulence
I have tasted lime and lemonade
Given the care and love only mothers can
Supported and cheered by my own father
Shown love and respect by my siblings
And I've come this far to make a choice for life
In the pool of many I've made my choice
And proclaimed my love with a stern voice
I've chosen you my friend till no end
Chose you my partner and welcomed by my father
In your home I have a friend in your mother
Share with me the honour and love from my mother
With my brother you can trust this army
And in my sister you have a friend
Step up the stairs my darling mate
I chose you for this but not a race
Nobody crosses the ribbon alone
I chose you for this not for a game
For there would be no prize for the winner
Let's do this not for the ring
I'm not gonna cage you for life
We know how rough it has been getting here
We know the pride we shoved down the throat
We know the price it cost us
And getting here isn't a prize yet
Let's journey together beyond our prime
Do a life with me
Let me love you till a day beyond forever
Respect each other till the last breath
I've agreed to sail this ship
Enjoy the cruise when the ocean is still
Sing me songs of our youthful days
And when the storm hits
Hold the wheel and steer with me
Nobody goes overboard
We hitting the shores in one piece
Should you say 'I do' today
It is a yes to life with me
