dancing in the minefields. andrew peterson.

well i was 19, you were 21
the year we got engaged.
and 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.

and 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.

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 storms.
and 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 love's 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 this chaos, baby,
i can dance with you.

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, lets 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.
