A time for us, some day there'll be

When chains are torn by courage born of a love that's free

A time when dreams so long denied can flourish

As we unveil the love we now must hide



A time for us, at last to see

A life worthwhile for you and me



And with our love, through tears and thorns

We will endure as we pass surely through every storm

A time for us, some day there'll be a new world

A world of shining hope for you and me





For you and me



And with our love, through tears and thorns

We will endure as we pass surely through every storm

A time for us, some day there'll be a new world

A world of shining hope for you and me



A world of shining hope for you and me
