[Verse 1]
Our love
It's not a perfect love
Even though it gets hard
It's the only kind I want
Our love
Is a resilient love
When it comes to our hearts
Our love it can't be undone

[Chorus]
Through the fire
Through the rain
Through the drama and all the pain
Through the difficult and emotional
Through the battles that seemed inconceivable
Even if the sun or the sky came crashing down
Even if the world ends our love still gonna be around
Through the fire and through the rain
The whole world may change but we'll stay the same

[Verse 2]
Our love
It's a special love
Like a precious work of art
It's been priceless from the start
Our love
Is a brilliant love
Shining bright as in a star
Our love lights the way through the dark
We been through

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Even if the sun

[Chorus]

Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds (born April 10, 1959 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a Grammy Award-winning producer, singer, and songwriter responsible for a string of hits in the 1980s and 1990s. He has written and produced more than 20 number-one hits and won 11 Grammys—including three for Producer of the Year—for his work with Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Eric Clapton, Alicia Keys, and Toni Braxton, as well as his own work as an artist.

Babyface got his nickname from funk legend Bootsy Collins after joining his backing band in the 1970s. He joined the group Manchild in the late ‘70s—a group that also included his frequent collaborator Daryl Simmons—before moving out West and working with the group The Deele in the early 1980s, forming a bond with his bandmate and future production partner L.A. Reid. After producing the hit “Two Occasions” for The Deele, L.A. & Babyface broke off and became one of the biggest superproducer duos in R&B, rivaling the hits of fellow superproducer duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

L.A. & ‘Face had their hands in a string of #1 R&B hits in the late '80s and early '90s from artists such as Pebbles (“Girlfriend”), Karyn White (“Superwoman”), The Whispers (“Rock Steady”), Johnny Gill (“My, My, My”) and many more. They were also instrumental in the success of post-New Edition era Bobby Brown as they produced his #1 hits “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Every Little Step,” “On Our Own,” and “Humpin' Around.” They made history with Boyz II Men in 1992 as they wrote and produced “End of the Road,” which spent a record-breaking 14 consecutive weeks atop the pop chart.
