[Acoustic guitar intro]
(Woman)
The streets were full of rain,the sky was gray, my heart so heavy.But somewhere between all the roads,you came to me, so softly.
You kissed the scars of all my years,instead of looking at them with disdain.And suddenly even all the questionsbecame new reasons to rise again.
(Man)
Life doesn't always bring us sunshine,often the wind blows in our face.But those who love the truth in one anothernever leave the path of the heart.
We have weathered storms together,that wanted to destroy some dreams.Yet our hands found each other,when we found ourselves lost.
(Both – Pre-Chorus)
We are not perfect,we are only real.Sometimes full of fire,sometimes full of strife.
But every blow,that struck us down,has shown us,how strong love makes us.
Chorus (Duet)
Our hearts beat for each other,and sometimes they beat against each other too.Yet every storm makes our fire stronger,every night the new morning brighter.
We carry love through time,through struggle and hope, through eternity.And if the world takes us one day,there remains a heartbeat that will sound forever.
(Verse 3 – alternating)
(Woman)We learned to accept the world,as it truly stands before us.
(Man)Not every answer to understand,but to keep going when nothing moves.
(Woman)Sometimes silence was our language.
(Man)Sometimes closeness was our light.
(Both)And every tear we shared,our hearts did not forget in the end.
Chorus
Our hearts beat for each other,and sometimes they beat against each other too.Yet every storm makes our fire stronger,every night the new morning brighter.
We carry love through time,through struggle and hope, through eternity.And if the world takes us one day,there remains a heartbeat that will sound forever.
[Instruments fade out. Only acoustic guitar. Both voices soft and close.]
(Both, almost whispering)
When our bodies have long turned to dust,and no trace of us remains,something of us will live on,because love transcends every time.
Your heart in mine,my heart in yours,connected even through the strongest wall.
[Piano enters. Slow build.]
(Both)
And when the souls move on,to a place of bright light,I'll recognize you among a thousand worldsby your face.
For what carries us,can never die.What truly loves,will live on forever.
Final Chorus (big, with piano and pan flute)
Our hearts beat for each other,and sometimes they beat against each other too.Yet every storm makes our fire stronger,every night the new morning brighter.
We carry love through time,through struggle and hope, through eternity.And when the stars have long burned out,our souls will strive to find each other again.
Our hearts keep beating,when time has long fallen still.And somewhere beyond the horizonsthe new life awaits us.
Oh-oh-oh ...Love remains.Oh-oh-oh ...For all time.
Oh-oh-oh-oh
... For all time
