The Gates

Dustin Strong

Through the gates of fear
We walk together
Arm in Arm

Through the gates of despair
We run together
To face our enemy

Through the gates of misery
We sprint together
To meet our fate

Through the gates
We march together
Knowing our fate

At the gates
We stand resolute together
Holding onto what is true

At the gates
We stand together
Fear leaving us

At the gates
We stand together
Illuminated in love

At the gates
We stand together
Forever in Friendship
