(Verse 1) Walk with me, through fields of light, Step by step, our hearts in flight. Hand in hand, we’ve come so far, Guided here by our brightest star. (Chorus) And we’re walking toward forever, In the glow of love’s embrace. Side by side, we’ll brave the weather, In this sacred, chosen place. (Verse 2) Dreams we hold, they now take flight, In your eyes, the world feels right. Every step, a beat of love, Blessed beneath the sky above. (Chorus) And we’re walking toward forever, In the glow of love’s embrace. Side by side, we’ll brave the weather, In this sacred, chosen place. (Bridge) So here we stand, just you and I, Promising love that won’t say goodbye. Through every storm, through calm and strife, Today begins our one shared life. (Chorus) And we’re walking toward forever, In the glow of love’s embrace. Side by side, we’ll brave the weather, In this sacred, chosen place. (Outro) So take my hand, and let’s begin, A life of love we both will win. Colin and Vienelli, bound and true, In love’s own light, here with you.

I draw lines and mark where the rivers should bend And trace out the roads that I'll never descend A paper ocean, wrinkles and waves Godlike intentions, but frozen in place I chart constellations, connecting the stars A galaxy born, as the ink leaves a mark The compass spins, but I’m stuck on this page Set sail without movement, drifting in place A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling The horizon stretches, but it never grows near The winds whisper secrets that I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true I paint the shadows where the mountains once stood And sketch every path that I’ll never pursue A paper sky, the colors don’t blend Lacking intention, a goal, or a plan I’ve planned out journeys, a million so far Though I’ve traced every line, there’s no path to embark The ink dries slowly, it never runs out A journey in drawings, but no steps to count A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling The horizon stretches, but it never grows near The winds whisper secrets that I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true These maps are a prison I created myself I choose to stand still with no story to tell A paper-thin world that easily tares With intricate roads that lead me nowhere A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling The horizon stretches, but it never grows near The winds whisper secrets that I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true
[Verse] There'll be three heroes tonight asleep Bluebear with courage so deep The Orch of dawn with eyes so bright And the Lord with iron heart's might [Chorus] Gallant ones in moonlight's grace Visions of an ancient place Echoes of a time long past Legends that forever last [Verse 2] Bluebear carries a sword so keen Warrior of valleys unseen The Orch sings dawn's early song In this night they all belong [Chorus] Gallant ones in moonlight's grace Visions of an ancient place Echoes of a time long past Legends that forever last [Verse 3] The Lord stands tall with armor's gleam His heart A fire A radiant beam Through twilight they march in tune Guided by the silver moon [Bridge] Stars will watch their silent fight Glory casting shadows' flight Whispers of their deeds unfold Fortunes found and tales retold
[Verse] In the heart of the wild we gather 'round again With kayaks in the water we ride the rolling rain Hiking up the mountains where eagles learn to soar Every step a story every trail we score [Chorus] Campfire nights where stars ignite Tales of climbing to the heights Tents and laughter under skies so grand In the scouts we roam this land [Verse 2] Tents are homes beneath the twilight beams In the wilderness we're chasing dreams Climbing cliffs with hands so bold Every rock a secret told [Chorus] Campfire nights where stars ignite Tales of climbing to the heights Tents and laughter under skies so grand In the scouts we roam this land [Bridge] Kayaks gliding through the misty dawn Every paddle stroke a new adventure born From sunrise hikes to twilight's song In the scouts we all belong [Chorus] Campfire nights where stars ignite Tales of climbing to the heights Tents and laughter under skies so grand In the scouts we roam this land

(Verse 1) From the moment we met, you stole my heart, A spark in your eyes, it set me apart, For months I’ve been lost in thoughts of you, A love so deep, it feels so true. I never saw this coming, love’s surprise, When I was losing hope, you lit up the skies, Now I can’t imagine life without you near, In every moment, you make it clear. (Pre-Chorus) You’re the laughter in my day, The strength that guides me through the gray, With your heart so pure, and your touch so kind, I’ve found a love I thought I’d never find. (Chorus) I’ll love you forever, in all that you are, Through every high and every scar, You deserve the world, every dream come true, And I’ll spend my life making it all for you. In your heart, I see my home, With you, I’ll never be alone, Together, we’ll face the world outside, I’ll spend my life by your side. (Verse 2) You open up, and I listen close, Your fears, your dreams, everything you know, I promise you, I’ll never let you go, I see the beauty in your soul. Your strength, your humor, how you shine, You lift me up every single time, And when the world feels too much to bear, I’ll be your rock, I’ll always be there. (Pre-Chorus) Your love is steady, it’s built to last, A future brighter than the past, And though we’ve been through pain and strife, You and me, we’ve found our life. (Chorus) I’ll love you forever, in all that you are, Through every high and every scar, You deserve the world, every dream come true, And I’ll spend my life making it all for you. In your heart, I see my home, With you, I’ll never be alone, Together, we’ll face the world outside, I’ll spend my life by your side. (Bridge) We’ll build a future, hand in hand, A family, a life, a love so grand, Through all the highs and all the lows, With you, I’m home, where love grows. (Chorus) I’ll love you forever, in all that you are, Through every high and every scar, You deserve the world, every dream come true, And I’ll spend my life making it all for you. In your heart, I see my home, With you, I’ll never be alone, Together, we’ll face the world outside, I’ll spend my life by your side. (Outro) Forever by your side, that’s where I’ll be, Through all that’s to come, just you and me, With every step, we’ll make it through, I’ll spend my life loving you.

[Verse] Under the sun so brightly shown Her voice chants stories unknown Drum beats echo through the air Whispered secrets everywhere [Verse 2] Crackling fire night’s embrace Wrinkled smiles on her face Ancient tales rise with the flame Generations call her name [Chorus] Dance in circles round the flame Feel the rhythm wild and tame Life and spirit in each beat Old and young as one we meet [Verse 3] Barefoot steps on sacred ground Echoes lost now finally found Harmonies that time forgot Carry wisdom in each note [Bridge] From the river to the trees Hear the whispers of the breeze Songs of land and sky above Bound by stories songs of love [Chorus] Dance in circles round the flame Feel the rhythm wild and tame Life and spirit in each beat Old and young as one we meet
