We Will Face the World (Together)
Words and music © 2014, Dominique Millette
1.
In this uncertain world, you were a beacon in the night
Your love shone down on me just like a precious guiding light
Neither other faces nor embraces beckon me
You are the only one who makes me feel both safe and free
Chorus:
Together, we will face the world and build a loving home
Whatever fate may bring to us, we'll never be alone
Together we are more than separate you and I could be
The promise of our bond will guide our love and family
2.
A sunset shared with laughter is many times multiplied
The world is more than twice as lovely with you by my side
Your smile is so much more to me than youth and beauty show
Time will carve a work of art from both your face and soul
3.
At times, the world confuses me and cuts me down to size
But I find my way again by looking in your eyes
And when you've lost your footing, you can just reach out to me
I'll hold you up and stay beside you, as you do for me
4.
There will be days we wonder why we've made the journey here
And nights we're not as certain that we want each other near
On any path we walk, we’ll find we stumble now and then
But here we pledge to rise and find our way to love again
