From the recording A Theory of Connection
Verse 1
You walk through the world like the sun breaks for you,
Walking your path with the weight of your mark.
No crowd to impress, no applause in your hand —
Just the fire you answer to, the line where you stand.
The moment your eyes meet with mine,
The noise of the world falls perfectly in line.
Pre-Chorus
There’s no promise spoken, no vow to demand,
Just the quiet conviction I feel when I see you stand.
And something in me settles, something in me knows,
In the strength you carry, my own strength grows.
Chorus
And I rise, yeah I rise when you stand,
Like the storm pulls back and the road comes clear.
Not a dream I borrow, not a fate I follow —
Just the peace that I feel when I see you stand.
If this is love, let it burn as it is —
Two hearts hitting harder in the life that we live.
Verse 2
You carry your fire with effortless grace,
A calm kind of power the world can’t erase.
No crowd to command you, no throne to defend —
Just the fire of a life you will not bend.
And I don’t need a sign, I just know what
I know when your hand touches mine.
Pre-Chorus
No masks between us, nothing to pretend,
Just the pulse of a spirit that won’t break or bend.
And something in me settles, something in me knows,
In the strength you carry, my own strength grows.
Chorus
And I rise, yeah I rise when you stand,
Like the storm pulls back and the road comes clear.
Not a dream I borrow, not a fate I follow —
Just the peace that I feel when I see you stand.
If this is love, let it burn as it is —
Two hearts hitting harder in the life that we live.
Bridge
Let the world chase shadows, let them bow to the crowd,
We’ll walk our own road, unbroken and proud.
No borrowed devotion, no promises owed —
Just the force of two lives on a self‑chosen road.
Chorus
And I rise, yeah I rise when you stand,
Like the storm pulls back and the road comes clear.
Not a dream I borrow, not a fate I follow —
Just the peace that I feel when I see you stand -
Just the truth in you that I choose again.
Just the quiet alignment of the paths we chose.
Two souls moving forward with their own steady hands.
If this is love, let it burn as it is —
Two hearts hitting harder in the life that we live.
