Together
Such a long and hard journey
Just so that I could be here now
To meet you face to face
So long to wait and so difficult to struggle
Without ever knowing the reason
But here we stand together
And without words we know our intertwined destiny
The ways of the world wind all about
Whichever direction we decide to take
Still leads us to our final destination
We do not need to speak to know the way before us
Though we soon part
The journey will have been worth the trouble
We may meet again next time around
and still require only the silence to know our souls
