Hanalei — Josh and Sarah's Belated Wedding Present lyrics

Lyrics

We have been fighting for years
We have stood anchored through the storms of our fears
We have held court with the noblest of friends
As our twenties seemed to mark themselves with wrinkles in our skin
We are children of the California moon
Baby boomed teens dosed in the afternoon
They told us let love be your guiding light
But empathy is a curse and intelligence is a knife
We took our cues from punks and drunk poets
We found the pain becomes stronger when we try not to show it
We have seen the fires of luminaries stumble and fade
We found sparks in their ruins and seeds in their graves
In the friction of our framework I’ll shield from harm
In the details of weakness I’ll seek shelter in your arms
The tides of time cannot pull us apart
Our devotion is a catalyst and our union is an art
We hold tight… through static of our struggles, through the trials of our
plights
