Set in Stone

I met you on a summer day
Our love began to grow
We laughed and danced and sang away
And watched the sunset's glow

Nothing's set in stone
But I know what I feel
Nothing’s set in stone
Our love is real

We've shared our hopes and dreams
And learned each other's ways
Our hearts are intertwined 
As we journey through these days

Nothing's set in stone
But I know what I feel
Nothing's set in stone
Our love is real

Two years down the road where will we be?
Two years down the road we’ll see
I don't know, but I hope we'll still be you and me. but For now you and me are all we need

Nothing's set in stone
But I know what I feel
Nothing's set in stone
Our love is real

We're taking chances, we're feeling free
Our love is like a currency
Tokens of affection, our hearts invest
But where will we be, two years past?

nothing's set in stone, nothing set in stone
our love is growing, but I know what I  feel
Nothing set in stone nothing set in stone
We've sown the seeds to own, our love is real

We'll take the journey, we'll take the ride
Together we'll face what's on the other side
We'll cherish every moment, every memory
Our love will be the guide, to where we'll be

Nothing's set in stone
But I know what I feel
Nothing's set in stone
Our love is real

We'll build our future, with each other by our side
And through the ups and downs, 
our love will never hide
We'll take the risk, we'll take the chance
Our love is worth it, and that's romance

Nothing's set in stone
But I know what I feel
Nothing's set in stone
Our love is real

HAND IN GLOVE

We've faced trauma and societal barriers too

Prejudices that affected our mental health and wellbeing, it's true

Expectations that we'd fail, trust issues and jealous haters

But we know it's not terminal, we can be the creators



We are not in a competition for head of household.

We are a community of family and friends.

I am not a victim or an enemy. I am an ally and friend..

Patriarchy or matriarchy shouldn’t define us.

Just pure unconditional love and respect.

We grow a garden

We support a household and keep it clean

We love our children and want them to fulfill their dreams


You're my partner, my love, my life
My soulmate, my best friend, my wife
Together we face the world with pride
Our love is strong and will never subside


We're not in a competition, my love
We're a community, hand in glove
No patriarchy or matriarchy, just love
Our love and respect are what rise above


We tend to our garden with care
Our home is a haven we share
We support each other through thick and thin
Our love is the foundation that we both win


We're not in a competition, my love
We're a community, hand in glove
No patriarchy or matriarchy, just love
Our love and respect are what rise above


Our children are our pride and joy
We want them to be happy, every girl and boy
We guide them with love, support and care
Their dreams are ours, we'll always be there


We're not in a competition, my love
We're a community, hand in glove
No patriarchy or matriarchy, just love
Our love and respect are what rise above


You're my love, my wife, my everything
Together we make our love shine and sing
Our bond is strong, it will never break
Our love is pure, and it's ours to make.


We've faced trauma and societal barriers too
Prejudices that affected our mental health and wellbeing, it's true
Expectations that we'd fail, trust issues and jealous haters
But we know it's not terminal, we can be the creators


We're not in a competition, my love
We're a community, hand in glove
No patriarchy or matriarchy, just love
Our love and respect are what rise above


We can learn to share the power, as heads of household and lovers
We can communicate holistically, and go beyond just staying covered
We can come together and exceed expectations for our own success and future
Breaking down barriers and shining bright like a shooting star, our love is the suture


We're not in a competition, my love
We're a community, hand in glove
No patriarchy or matriarchy, just love
Our love and respect are what rise above


We are stronger together, my love
Through thick and thin, we'll rise above
Our love will conquer all obstacles and more
Our hearts will soar, forevermore.



We've faced trauma and societal barriers too
Prejudices that affected our mental health and wellbeing, it's true
Expectations that we'd fail, trust issues and jealous haters
But we know it's not terminal, we can be the creators

Nothing’s Meant to Last

I used to think      forever’s promised
That nothing good    could end
Then life hit me     the hardest
Taught me things     change and end.

Always looking for    a happy ending
sometimes the journey’s    all  we get
We learn to cherish   every moment
hold on to things that    we collect

let’s love   like there’s no tomorrow
live like   today is all we have
take each day as   it comes and goes
cherish the good  with   the bad
Some times things are   just a fad 

Nothing's meant to last
Good things come to past
Don’t hold on   too tight
Or you’ll lose    your sight

I remember when   we were young
Playing games   out in    the sun
Thought we'd be   together forever
nothing lasts forever and ever

Things are meant to change
Nothing stays the same
Nothing's meant to last
Good things come to past
Don’t hold on too tight
Or you’ll lose the fight
Things are meant to change
Nothing's made to last

We laughed and loved    like crazy
time moves on,     fast or slow
Life takes us down    different roads
we're left with what we  collect and hold

I once had a love so strong and true
like a shooting star it vanished from view
I held on tight, tried to make it last
I learned the hard way that nothing lasts

I had  a dream,   so bright and clear
the world can be cruel,   it disappeared
I stumbled and fell, lost my way for a while
I picked myself up, and found a new style

Good friends move away
new friends come to play
Good things come to past
Nothing's meant to last
We can't hold on too tight
Or we'll lose our sight
Old friends move away
New friends come to play

NOBODY WALKS

We share a bond so strong and true
Together we can make it through

Tension and conflict may arise
But love will keep us side by side

We share a bond so strong and true
Together we can make it through

Chorus:
Nobody walks away
When there's still love 
We'll write a song together
And I'll give you the moon

Verse:
We share a bond so strong and true
Together we can make it through

Tension and conflict may arise
But love will keep us side by side

To all the barriers that we face
We'll find a way to heal this place!

Nobody walks away
If there's still love to be had
Love is all there is, you see
Together we'll be free

We share a bond so strong and true
Together we can make it through

Tension and conflict may arise
But love will keep us side by side

We share a bond so strong and true
Together we can make it through


Bad days may come, we'll weather the storm
Together we’re a team, our love is our armor


We share a bond so strong and true
Together we can make it through

Tension and conflict may arise
But love will keep us side by side

When one of us gets lost,
the other will bring you home

Miscommunication, lack of trust
We'll face it all, we must
With empathy and deep connection
Our love will bring a revolution

We share a bond so strong and true
Together we can make it through

Tension and conflict may arise
But love will keep us side by side

We share a bond so strong and true
Together we can make it through

Together we'll continue to ascend
Our love a powerful force, a spiritual blend
With each other as divine mirrors
Our love will shine brighter and brighter forever.
