Melanie Hammet: Listen⎟

Stronger By Two

(Melanie Hammet)
I wrote this song for two friends of mine who were getting married.

It's not legal in this country.

It will be.
Stronger X 2


It was a beam of light
it was an open eye
and then we were lost in the time that became the rest of our lives

and just like we've heard it said your love has lifted me
and because you are my life
life is the best it could ever be


you bring me heart in stone
making me more than who I am
making sense of the world we are making understand

and just like we've heard it said your love has lifted me
and because you are my life
life is the best it could ever be

and we wed---as we wed as we merge we emerge
stronger by two
and we vow--as we vow and our union, communion
stronger by two
stronger by two


open the circle wide
call in the old and new
call in the family that made us
the family we'll make
and we choose

love is a beam of light
we are the open eye
and as we wed and our union, communion
stronger by two


love is a beam of light
we are the open eye
and as we wed and our union, communion
stronger by two
