Strangers meet in the morning light
Tears of joy as their hearts entwine
Life unfolds from the great divine
I know we'll be alright
We lift you from your time and place
In a simple plan, within God's grace
It's all revealed as we embrace
I know we'll be alright
First tears, first smiles are never late
Thirteen months were held by fate
Together we fly as our lives await
I know we'll be alright
One more to add to what is ours
Two sisters meet in anxious hours
No more fear as love devours
I know we'll be alright
