Andrew Peterson - Dancing In The Minefields lyrics

Well, I was nineteen, you were twenty-one The year we got engaged And everyone said we were much too young But we did it anyway We got the rings for forty each From a pawn shop down the road We said our vows and took the leap Now fifteen years ago And we went dancing in the minefields We went sailing in the storms And it was harder than we dreamed But I believe that's what the promise is for "I do" are the two most famous last words The beginning of the end But to lose your life for another, I've heard Is a good place to begin 'Cause the only way to find your life Is to lay your own life down And I believe it's an easy price For the life that we have found And we're dancing in the minefields We're sailing in the storms This is harder than we dreamed But I believe that's what the promise is for That's what the promise is for So when I loose my way, find me When I loose love's chains, bind me At the end of all my faith, till the end of all my days When I forget my name, remind me 'Cause we bear the light of the Son of Man So there's nothing left to fear So I'll walk with you in the shadowlands Till the shadows disappear 'Cause he promised not to leave us And his promises are true So in the face of all this chaos Baby, I can dance with you So let's go dancing in the minefields Let's go sailing in the storms Oh, let's go dancing in the minefields And kicking down the doors Oh, let's go dancing in the minefields And sailing in the storms Oh, this is harder than we dreamed But I believe that's what the promise is for That's what the promise is for
