Love has brought us together

The world asks me to walk on the path that it shows

But love, opening its arms, throws strong well-aimed bows

Through its child, cupid, whom all lovers adore

But at whom all elders and others are sore.

Neither are you to blame, nor did I do any wrong

Then why should people’s hearts burn as we walk along

They know that both hearts pound as furiously as a gong

Then why should they keep us apart for so long?

Come, my love, let us break all barriers and be free

After all, love is not some fruit of a forbidden tree

It is a pure thing, a holy thing, to be cherished and kept

A wonderful emotion over which Juliet and Romeo have wept.

Let us be man and wife, let us pledge a vow

That we, before its creator, the great Lord, do bow

For is it not Him who brought us together

And he will help us, all challenges, to weather?
