Chalk and Desks to Wedding Bands

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Back in the days of chalk and desks, Two little kids with nothing yet, We didn't know what time would bring, The seasons turned, the years would sing. Through open doors and quiet goodbyes, We always found the same old eyes. [Chorus] And here we are, still holding on, Every road just led me home, Through all the leaving and coming back, Love always knew the way, and that's a fact. A new beginning, hope shining true, My whole life spent finding you. [Verse 2] At 25 the world came 'round, That old familiar face I found, The girl who carries all her kin, A heart too big to fit within. Old-world faith and modern grace, Mariah, heaven's in your face. [Chorus] And here we are, still holding on, Every road just led me home, Through all the leaving and coming back, Love always knew the way, and that's a fact. A new beginning, hope shining true, My whole life spent finding you. [Bridge] You mend the broken, hold the weak, You give the love that others seek. Whatever storms we had to weather, Healed us into one forever. [Verse 3] Now almost thirty, look at us, Building something made of trust, A family growing all around, Your gentle strength is holy ground. Mariah, soon you'll be my wife, The greatest chapter of my life. [Chorus] And here we are, still holding on, Every road just led me home, Through all the leaving and coming back, Love always knew the way, and that's a fact. A new beginning, hope shining true, My whole life spent finding you. [Outro] Mariah, take my hand and stay, We found forever the long way, From first grade dreams to wedding bands, Home was always in your hands.
