[Intro]
(The song begins with a warm, syncopated Spanish guitar riff. A light "cha-cha" rhythm starts on the woodblocks.)
[Verse 1]
Escucha, mi amor... I have to disagree
I’m not the only one holding up this destiny
I am but one pillar, rooted in the sand
But a house cannot stand without your helping hand
You are the second pillar, the strength that I feel
Without both of us, this love isn't real.
[Chorus]
(The rhythm picks up—more "Sabor")
Dos pilares, standing side by side
Holding up the ceiling with nowhere to hide
One heart can’t carry the weight of this floor
It takes the two of us to open up the door
Steady and level, foundation so true
I’m building this life, baby, only with you.
[Verse 2]
I know the distance is long, and the miles are deep
But it’s just a test, a promise we keep
Life is trying to shake us, trying to make us bend
But we have a power on which we depend
It’s the way that we heal, the way that we hear
When we move as a team, the distance is near.
[Bridge]
(A soulful trumpet solo plays a "call and response" with the guitar)
Communication... the rhythm of our soul
Listening... the thing that makes us whole
We pull through the difficult, we pull through the hard
With the strength of the union, we’re never on guard.
[Outro]
(The music slows back down to a romantic guitar strum)
Los dos pilares... (The two pillars)
Moving forward... (Siempre adelante)
One pillar is me...
The other is you.
(Final flourish on the Spanish guitar)
