It started with a melody, a rhythm in the air

That first long conversation, a spark we didn't know was there

"É isso aí," you told me, and the music took its hold

A story just beginning, waiting to be told

Eighteen years to come of age, we’ve reached the silver light

A love that’s grown through every day and every heavy night.

I know I lost the compass, I know I went astray

I left some heavy shadows on the path along the way

But you chose to stay here, a grace I can't explain

You held the light for both of us through all the bitter rain

And if I should fall behind, I know you’ll wait for me

Because you saw the man that I was always meant to be.

Now we’re learning from the silence, we’re learning from the past

Building up a kingdom that was always meant to last

With a gratitude that’s deeper than any word can say

We’re facing a tomorrow that is finally on its way.

And I get lost within the ocean of your emerald eyes

I feel the world vibrating when I see your smile rise

I’m finally home the moment that we’re standing in a hug

Every scar we’ve carried is a hole that we have dug

To plant the seeds of healing, to watch the garden grow

Hand in hand together, there’s no place I wouldn’t go.

Look at the life we’ve gathered, the family we’ve made

The strength of our foundations in the children where we played

Our boys, the secret reasons that our love could stay

The light that kept us steady on the darkest days

And my little princess, who found in you a guide

For that love you gave her, I overflow with pride.

I see us in the distance, when the hair has turned to grey

Still finding new discoveries in the middle of the day

No need for easy answers, just the respect that we have found

Two souls who kept on climbing 'til we reached the solid ground

Walking down that shoreline, the salt spray in the wind

Just two old lovers where the journey never ends

And I get lost within the ocean of your emerald eyes

I feel the world vibrating when I see your smile rise

I’m finally home the moment that we’re standing in a hug

Every scar we’ve carried is a hole that we have dug

To plant the seeds of healing, to watch the garden grow

Hand in hand together, there’s no place I wouldn’t go.

Just you and me, Miku...

Coming of age together.

Always hand in hand.

Thank you for staying.

Thank you for the light.
