Lyrics: Forgive Durden. Razia's Shadow: A Musical. It's True Love.

It seems to me like every star agreed
To meet right over our heads tonight to flex their bright
The light collects in your eyes, turns and reflects
Jumps into mine, I'm a slave to the sight

My hands shake, our minds race from the thought of love
Yet we curb our speech because words are not enough
To etch this instant, burn this moment into our memory
Let go, take my hand and trust in me
Anhura, can't you see that we were meant to be?

It's true love
It's true love
It's true love
It's true love

I never would guess your touch could fill me
With such thoughts to marry you, have your babies, too
Is it too good to be true? I can't let her learn about my past
If she found out where I came from she'd turn so fast

And not look back, I can't go back, I just won't go back
I can't slow down, I'm scared, I'm falling too fast
Adakias, can't you see that I knew at first kiss?
We were meant to be

Don't you ever feel like you've been destined
For something bigger than your skin?
Don't you ever feel like you've been destined
For something bigger than your skin?

I can feel it
Affirming my significance
Rendering me weightless
Confirming my purpose

(I can feel it)
Tendons tensing in its wake
(Affirming my significance)
Shifting my shoulder blades

(Rendering me weightless)
Trickling down my veins
(Confirming my purpose)
It's subtle as a tidal wave

It's true love
It's true love
It's true love
It's true love

It's true love
It's true love
It's true love
It's true love

Love was everywhere, you could taste it in the air
The couple was eager to trade vows to float away and settle down
But first Adakias had to meet Anhura's father
His majesty, the one and only, his royal highness, the king
He had to kiss his jeweled fist and bow to the crown
Kneeling on the ground, he would propound to become her prince
