[Intro] (Whispered) I carried my scars like armor... Until someone asked me to lay them down. [Verse 1] I was a shadow built from battles, a name carved into stone, A thousand miles of empty nights, learning how to stand alone. I wore the weight of every wound, every promise left behind, Built a fortress out of silence just to keep peace in my mind. Then you crossed an ocean carrying more than just your name, Walked into the storm I lived in and never asked me to change. You didn't chase away the darkness, you didn't fear the night, You just stood there beside me and somehow made it light. [Pre-Chorus] Through rivers running cold beneath the sky, I watched you find your courage while you learned to fly. And every place we wandered, every memory we made, Was another piece of forever that distance couldn't take. [Chorus] So take my hand, take my heart, take the blade I carried through, Every battle, every shadow led me back to you. From the sword you gave me to the ring I placed in your hand, Two souls across an ocean finally learning where they stand. And if the world divides us, if the miles call our names, I'll walk through every darkness just to find you again. Because I spent my whole life searching for somewhere I belong... And somehow I found it in you all along. [Verse 2] We wandered through a living world beneath the emerald sky, Where rivers held our reflections and the hours passed us by. I watched you face the waters you once feared to call your own, And saw a piece of courage bloom where uncertainty had grown. Among the ancient trees and echoes, where the wild still breathed free, I found a quiet kind of peace I never thought I'd see. No battles left to conquer, no armor left to defend, Just two souls finding shelter in a moment without end. [Pre-Chorus] And when the evening settled and the fading light grew thin, I gave you something made with my hands, a piece of where I've been. Not gold, not grand, not borrowed from some perfect fairytale... Just a promise from a heart that had survived its own betrayal. [Bridge] They say a sword is a promise when it's given from a heart, An ancient vow remembered when two destinies start. So maybe the old ways knew what we were meant to find... You gave me a blade, and I gave you mine. One knee beneath a quiet moment, One question through the tears, One scream of "yes" that silenced Every doubt I'd carried for years. [Final Chorus] So take my hand, take my heart, take this life I choose with you, Every road, every shadow, every storm we'll travel through. The sword became our story, the ring became our vow, And even when you're oceans away... You're standing with me now. [Outro] Tomorrow you'll fly back across the sea... But you leave nothing behind. You leave a promise. You leave a future. You leave a piece of you with me.
