It used to be second nature to me
To want to turn and walk away
Since I met you those days are gone
Now I want to stay, and say

I’m in for the long haul
Bring on the fight
I will, I will stand tall
With all my might
And face the wind and face the rain
And even the pain
Through it all
I’m in for the long haul

So many people just packing it in
They don’t give it half a chance
Not me and you, we’ve got it all
And it’s gonna last
Oh yeah, bring it on ‘cause

For the ride of my life
With you by my side
Holding on tight, because
Our guiding light is the Father
And we’ll be alright

Behind the Song:
"This song is about staying married. My parents and grandparents are both divorced. Having a son now, I know how important it is for us to stay together. The lyric says: So many people packing it in / They don’t give it half a chance / You and me we’ve got it all / And it’s going to last. This is about being in it forever, not letting anything mess it up -- sticking it out through the long haul. People are going to see the personality of God through families, not through our jobs or our businesses. Musically speaking, this song starts with a very simplistic piano and ends with a big sound at the end. It sounds more like a movie score than anything we’ve ever done. We’re really proud of it." - Jeromy Deibler (FFH)
