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
