Analysis of Natural Wonders
If there was an earthquake
We surely wouldn't know
Our Love is so tremendous
We wouldn't feel the blow
If there was a twister
We wouldn't even sneeze
Our Love is a shelter
We'd only feel a breeze
If there was a flood
We'd stay high and dry
Love is a mountain
Our ark in the sky
We are a force of nature
That nullifies the rest
Two natural wonders
Can weather any test
