Intro

Verse 1

 Well I was 19, you were 21, the year we got engaged

Everyone said we were much too 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

Chorus 1

 We went dancing in the minefields

 We went sailing in the storms

 And it was harder than we dreamed

 But I believe that’s what the promise is for

(That’s what the promise is for)

Interlude 1

Verse 2

 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

Chorus 1

 We went dancing in the minefields

 We went sailing in the storms

 And it was harder than we dreamed

 But I believe that’s what the promise is for

(That’s what the promise is for)

Bridge

 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

Interlude 2

Verse 3

 ‘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 this chaos, baby I can dance with you

Chorus 2

 So let’s go dancing in the minefields, let’s go sailing in the storms

 Oh, let’s go dancing in the minefields, and kicking down the doors

 Oh, let’s go dancing in the minefields, and sailing in the storms

 Oh, this is harder than we dreamed

 But I believe that’s what the promise is for

That’s what the promise is for
