[Verse 1]
We met back in twenty-fifteen
On a screen, just a dream, lookin’ for something real
Five months flew, then we said goodbye
But fate don’t quit when the love still feels
I came back broken, bruised and scared
You held my hand like you always cared
In front of your folks, you dropped to one knee
And I saw forever looking back at me
[Chorus]
We’ve been through hell, and we’ve seen grace
Lost some angels, found our place
In a world that tried to knock us flat
Love like ours — it’s built to last
Through the storms, the joy, the pain
We rise like sunshine after rain
Three babies later, look at our path
God knew our hearts were built to last
[Verse 2]
March of ‘18, vows and rings
With Beverly’s heartbeat starting to sing
Then Grandma Dee and mine flew high
But their love still echoes in the lullabies
Lil Dee smiled just like Grandpa Joe
We held on tight, never let go
Then came Leia, strong and wild
A little fire in our second child
[Chorus]
We’ve been through hell, and we’ve seen grace
Lost some angels, found our place
In a world that tried to knock us flat
Love like ours — it’s built to last
Through the storms, the joy, the pain
We rise like sunshine after rain
Three babies later, look at our path
God knew our hearts were built to last
[Bridge]
2020 through ‘23
We fought, we laughed, we learned to breathe
Then Sawyer came, our baby boy
Born through tears, a brand new joy
Your mama’s voice still in the wind
She’s watching over us again
[Final Chorus]
We’ve been through hell, and we’ve seen grace
Held each other in every space
In a world that tried to knock us flat
Love like ours — it’s built to last
Through the storms, the joy, the pain
We rise like sunshine after rain
Forever us, no looking back
'Cause Dawna and Ryan — we’re built to last
