Lyrics:

“I'm not afraid of the storm

Let the waves crash as they may

In your heart I'm safe and warm

Building our ship to sail away

This is no ordinary life

This is no ordinary love

All of our stories intertwine

To make us wild and strong

You find the beauty in the ash

And weave a quilt of moments past

There's splendour in a simple heart

An order in what's torn apart This is no ordinary life

This is no ordinary love

All of our stories intertwine

To make us wild and strong

I don't want a heart that doesn't break

I don't want a life with no mistakes

Just loving hands and open hearts

To guide me safely through the dark

This is no ordinary life

This is no ordinary love

All of our stories intertwine

To make us wild and strong”
