No shield to bear
No hands to raise
Just us
And our spoken names
Sometimes it's dark
Sometimes unclear
Our love stayed close
To lead us here
Because for us
It starts tonight
Whatever came before will be made right
Your hand in mine
Your eyes, my liiii-ght
It starts tonight
The world stands still
The sky goes round
'Neath the whirling stars
We'll stand our ground
And rooted here,
White, black and gold
A heart, a home
A hand to hold
The ache, the fall, the years lost
Will flow down in a stream
And gather at the edge
As we cross a bridge between
We can see it laid before us
Complete beneath the sky
The pieces all togethah
A world to testify
Because for us
It starts tonight
And all the wrongs will be made right
Your hand in mine
Your eyes, my light
Oh, there's no one but us
It starts tonight
