We live in a day and time where we can daily make our choices,
Visit places we like and raise our voices,
We live in a day and time where we have equal rights, black and white,
Male or female, people of any race can now choose what to write.
We come a long way though,
Where we couldn't freely do what we know,
We couldn't sing, we couldn't dance,
We were restricted in every chance.
In South Africa during apartheid,
It was illegal to make a white girl your bride,
Interracial marriages got people into trouble,
Those who did get married secretly lived in a bubble.
My wife and I share gender and colour oppression experience,
That's one thing we can both relate to and it made a big difference,
Somebody lied and told us we're inferior so we embrace each other,
I treat her like a Queen, she treats me like a King rather.
Together we form a strong force,
Our compasses track our course,
We choose to live for today not the past,
And because of that our love is eternal and steadfast.
Steadfast Love
