But I want you to feel free at the same time
To make no promises that can be broken
No empty words to be spoken
And I want you to be my girl
I didn't mean to be or rule your world
I guess this time in my life
I tend to hold on much too tight
Both hearts through the fire
I can see us standing shoulder-to-shoulder
We've got to stand for one another
If you walk a mile in my shoes
I will walk a mile in yours
And we'll find a common bond
There's a love here to be found
If we could come to understand
When we give it, it comes back again
And if we dig deep, deep enough
We will find in each of us, now
Oh, we gotta pull together
Both hearts through the fire
I can see us standing shoulder-to-shoulder
We've got to stand for one another
Ooh, here's to us, I see us getting better
It's funny, but as time goes by
You'd think we'd love and learn
But I'm as afraid now, as I was then
Just because we see the truth
Just because we know it's hard
I've been telling you forever
Both hearts through the fire
I can see us standing shoulder-to-shoulder
We've got to stand for one another
We're gonna stay together
I wanna, we're gonna stay together, baby
We'll pull together, baby, now, now
I'll be walking, talking, pull back together, baby
