The Veil You Pierced

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sometimes the road just breaks apart And all you're left with is a restless heart Two strangers searching through the noise For something real, for something more A leap of faith, an April night A simple chance to get it right [Chorus] Here we are, still standing tall Through every rise and every fall You pierced the veil around my heart And filled it up with light Here we are, still holding on Still smiling when the easy's gone Love, you are the hope I found The peace I hold on tight [Verse 2] Sixteen years since that April spring Two broken stories, wondering If one more risk could turn the tide You had your boy, I had my scars Three broken tries and empty jars But Kelly, something said let's try this ride [Chorus] Here we are, still standing tall Through every rise and every fall You pierced the veil around my heart And filled it up with light Here we are, still holding on Still smiling when the easy's gone Love, you are the hope I found The peace I hold on tight [Bridge] I'm still a drifter, that I know But you're the reason I don't go Those silver bracelets on your wrist Can't match the treasure that you are And "still standing" on your arm Tells the world you've earned each scar [Verse 3] So Kelly Rhoades, happy birthday, love You're every prayer I'm worthy of We grew, we laughed, we held our ground Through ups and downs we came around Now growing old don't scare me none Long as you're beside me when it's done The next embrace is waiting there Forever more, forever ours to share [Chorus] Here we are, still standing tall Through every rise and every fall You pierced the veil around my heart And filled it up with light Here we are, still holding on Still smiling when the easy's gone Kelly, you're the hope I found The peace I hold on tight [Outro] An April night, a leap of faith And look how far we've come Still standing, still together Still believing we're the one
