dancing in the minefields

a new song i heard on xm 32--the message--dancing in the minefields by andrew peterson

Well I was 19 you were 21 

Everyone said we were much to young 

But we did it anyway 

We got the rings for 40 each from a pawnshop down the road 

We said our vows and took the leap now 15 years ago 

We went dancing in the minefields 

We went sailing in the storm 

And it was harder than we dreamed 

But I believe that’s what the promise is for 

Well ‘I do’ are the two most famous last words 

The beginning of the end 

But to lose your life for another I’ve heard is a good place to begin 

Cause the only way to find your life is to lay your own life down 

And I believe it’s an easy price for the life that we have found 

And we’re dancing in the minefields 

We’re sailing in the storm 

This is harder than we dreamed 

But I believe that’s what the promise is for 

That’s what the promise is for 

So when I lose my way, find me 

When I lose loves chains, bind me 

At the end of all my faith 

to the end of all my days 

when I forget my name, remind me 

Cause we bear the light of the son of man 

So there’s nothing left to fear 

So I’ll walk with you in the shadow lands 

Till the shadows disappear 

Cause he promised not to leave us 

And his promises are true 

So in the face of all this chaos baby 

I can dance with you 

The year we got engaged
