Divorce is on the increase,

Rising every day,

It seems that when the going’s tough,

The tough just walk away,

Flocking to divorce courts,

Like a bunch of sheep,

Wedding vows are only words,

They never meant to keep,

So let’s be a rebel,

Let’s leave the fold,

Let’s stay together,

Until we’re grey and old,

Let’s be a rebel,

Go against the grain,

Let us just stay in love,

Keep the vows we made,

Sometimes the road is rocky,

And the pitfalls are too deep,

You think you’ll never make the climb,

The mountainside’s too steep,

Emotional storms are raging,

The water’s past our eyes,

But let’s be a rebel,

And sail the sea of life,

Let’s ride the rapids,

Let’s shoot the falls,

Let love be the raft we sail,

That takes us through it all,

Let’s be a rebel,

Let’s break the mold,

Let us still be in love,

When we grow old,

If arguments beset us,

And disagreements rise,

Right or wrong won’t matter much,

If we just compromise,

To find the best solutions,

To fix what’s going wrong,

Hey! That sounds a good idea,

You know that might catch on,

Let’s be a rebel,

Let’s leave the fold,

Let’s stand out from the crowd,

Let’s break the mold,

Let’s be a rebel,

Go against the grain,

Let us just stay in love,

And keeps the vows we made.
