Steady Heart, Clear Eyes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Five years ago the world stood still A screen between us, but love had its will Healers who met through the pandemic haze Connect 4 pieces, those quiet early days Crazy Train spinning, our very first dance Who would have guessed this beautiful chance [Chorus] I choose you with a joyful heart Wide awake right from the start With laughter, love, and time well spent This is the road, this is the meant I choose you, again, today And every step along the way [Verse 2] Patient and steady, kind and true That dramatic sneeze right out of the blue The whistle you hum in rooms so still That sound's become my favorite thrill A doctor's hands, a counselor's care The kind of love that's truly rare [Chorus] I choose you with a joyful heart Wide awake right from the start With laughter, love, and time well spent This is the road, this is the meant I choose you, again, today And every step along the way [Bridge] Alex, you follow me up every hill Estonia twice, and I love you still Cemeteries, rain, and family near You knelt and asked me—my dream, my dear [Verse 3] When the world gets loud, when days feel long I'll be your steady, I'll be your song We'll travel further, say yes to more Open new windows, walk through new doors Five amazing kids will light our way Alex, this love grows brighter each day [Chorus] I choose you with a joyful heart Wide awake right from the start With laughter, love, and time well spent This is the road, this is the meant I choose you, Alex, today And every step along the way [Outro] A new light rising, gratitude, joy This happy love, our shining song Alex, my love, we're finally home
