Well I was 19, you were 21 The year we got engaged Everyone said we were much too young But we did it anyway We got the rings for 40 each from a pawnshop down the road We said our vows and took the leap now 15 years ago
We went dancing in the minefields We went sailing in the storms And it was harder than we dreamed But I believe that's what the promise is for
Well "I do" are the two most famous last words The beginning of the end But to lose your life for another I've heard is a good place to begin 'Cause the only way to find your life is to lay your own life down And I believe it's an easy price for the life that we have found
And we're dancing in the minefields We're sailing in the storms And it was harder than we dreamed But I believe that's what the promise is for That's what the promise is for
So when I lose my way, find me When I lose loves chains, bind me At the end of all my faith to the end of all my days when I forget my name, remind me
'Cause we bear the light of the Son of man So there's nothing left to fear So I'll walk with you in the shadow lands Till the shadows disappear 'Cause He promised not to leave us And his promises are true So in the face of this chaos baby, I can dance with you
So lets go dancing in the minefields Lets go sailing in the storms Oh, lets go dancing in the minefields And kicking down the doors Oh, lets go dancing in the minefields And sailing in the storms Oh, this is harder than we dreamed But I believe that's what the promise is for That's what the promise is for
