Title:
“Our Hearts to the Wind”

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Looking back on our [C] years, the joy and the [G] tears
[G] We’ve run a long road, with our [D] hearts full and bold
[C] Now here we stand, [Am] your hand in my hand

(Chorus)
[G] Let’s throw our hearts to the [C] wind
[G] Let’s let the world spin and [D] spin
[C] Because with you, [Am] there’s nothing we can’t do
[G] Let’s throw our hearts to the [D] wind

(Verse 2)
[G] Through the highs and the [C] lows, our love only [G] grows
[G] With every fallen leaf, there’s a new [D] belief
[C] We’re stronger than we [Am] think, on the very brink

(Chorus)
[G] Let’s throw our hearts to the [C] wind
[G] We’ll dance in the storm, and we’ll [D] grin
[C] Because with you, [Am] there’s nothing we can’t do
[G] Let’s throw our hearts to the [D] wind

(Outro)
[C] Here’s to us, [Am] here’s to trust
[G] Let’s throw our hearts to the [D] wind
