This song is for those who are married to their community

lyrics

SOLO:
My wedding day – Not one bouquet
No honeymoon. No bride, no groom.
Just me alone, dreaming of home
A home without walls. A home built for all... for all.

My wedding vows, silent ‘til now.
I want to shout and sing, sing them out.
Vows sung to life – not husband, wife.
Vows sung to call to one and to all... to all.

I standing as One, Promise to accept you
Promise to respect you, Promise to protect you
From feeling alone, from needing a home
From wanting a friend, from now ‘til the end.
I promise to you, whatever you do
Whatever is done, whatever may come
The power, the power, the power of One.

COMMUNITY:
One family. Come marry me.
Not man to wife – a much different life.

We, standing as One, Promise to accept you
Promise to respect you, Promise to protect you
From feeling alone, from needing a home
From wanting a friend, from now ‘til the end.
We promise to you, whatever you do
Whatever is done, whatever may come
The power, the power, the power of One.
