We fell in love. Now you own my heart.
Our bond so strong. Right to the deepest part.
We'll build a life. No matter what they say.
For what we have they'll never take away.

They can't take our right to love.
And they can't break our will to love.

This is our life. This is our choice.
This is right that we must voice.
What are they afraid of? We're two people in love.
So much fear that they feel that they can't see what's real.

Chorus

My patience comes from what is real.
My confidence. My love for you.
'Cause when you add it all up, it becomes very clear
What is right, what is wrong. All the lies disappear.

Chorus

I'm connected to you and there's nothing to prove.
I will never back down. I won't budge. I won't move.
I will march and protest. I won't stop. I won't rest.
I will fight for our love. I will never give up.

Chorus

@LasLatinidades Thank you!!

[TheGoodSharer]

This is a beautiful song; I like the words of "love"!

[JerbyVids]

@TheGoodSharer Thank you!

[WickedWitchSithWoman]

Aww, what a beautiful song! I tried really hard not to cry and only just barely succeeded. I'm not American, but I think I'd like to see this documentary when it finally comes out; any word on whether or not your song's made it to the soundtrack? It took a while for us to make same-sex marriage legal nationwide, and then for those couples to get equal rights, but it did eventually happen. So I'm sure it will for you, too. Much love and tonnes of support from The Frozen North! <3

@WickedWitchSithWoman Thank you!!

ok I looooooove this song....

[AliceItoko]

This song is fantastic! And I could tell you were singing it from your heart. I hope you get everything you want from your marriage, you deserve it, I have several gay and bi friends and if those people who were against it could just get to know gay people they'd realise it's totally natural, just the way they feel, and they sure as hell have a right to love because the love is the same as amongst straight people. I'm really passionate about gay rights :]
