United

It's a wonder we're together When so much can drive a pair apart It takes a force of considerable nature To keep alive the bond between two hearts When I'm driven and distracted You take it in your stride When I've over-reacted You somehow abide And time again we remain United by the years and the time we cannot hide United by children who fill our lives United by the joy United by the pain United by both knowing we'd do it all again United There's times when we've been gentle Times when we've been tough Times when we've been strong Or not strong enough Times we can't remember how we got through But somehow we always do You have your life and I have mine It seems as though our paths just cross from time to time But never doubt this bridge that we have built Cuz time again we remain United by the work, united by the play United by the uphill climb that sometimes comes our way United by the things that keep us up at night United by the calmness that comes with dawn's first light For the times I think you're crazy For the times you know I am For the times we were in way over our heads And somehow we swam Here's to staying United
