We were just thirteen when the story began
Two little kids, didn't understand the plan
We went our own ways, let the seasons turn
But somewhere inside, a quiet fire would burn
Now we’re full grown, and you're back in my space
Time couldn't erase the warmth of your face
Everything led me right back to your side
With nothing to lose and nothing to hide
ChorusEmpower, it always was you
And it always will be you, it’s the absolute truth
When I look in those eyes, I get so mesmerized
A beautiful soul I could never disguise
You’re my husband, my best friend, my safe place to fall
Through all of the years, you're the best part of all
Verse 2When you whisper "love life," my spirit takes flight
You wrap me up warm in the middle of the night
I smile and I call you "my stank" in return
Just a sweet little joke for the passion we burn
The way you adore me, it’s easy to see
You give me a love that is perfectly free
After all of the waiting, we finally won
Two separate journeys that blended to one
BridgeWe needed that time just to figure it out
But now there is zero hesitation or doubt
From a middle school spark to a love so profound
I'm keeping my feet planted right on the ground
No matter the distance, no matter the view
My heart was secretly pointing to you
Final ChorusEmpower, it always was you
And it always will be you, it’s the absolute truth
When I look in those eyes, I get so mesmerized
A beautiful soul I could never disguise
You’re my husband, my best friend, my safe place to fall
Always was you, answering the call
Yeah, it always will be you
