We can make it
The world is rough
But we can take it
'Cause you're my shelter from the storm now
I don't need wine to keep me warm now

No temptation can ever shake our love's foundation
We're strong enough to take it
We can make it

Now we'll say goodbye to stormy weather
Safe within each other's arms
We can spend our lives together

Love has found us
And now its chain is wrapped around us
And no one can break it
We can make it

Love has found us
And now its chain is wrapped all around us
And no one can break it
We can make it
We can make it
