Verse 1: Male

You came with dust on your boots

And a map folded under your sleeve

I was counting the cracks in the courthouse steps

Trying to learn what I could believe

Verse 1: Female

I carried a match in a coffee tin

And a letter I never sent

You said, “Take my hand, we’re not finished yet”

So I followed wherever you went

Pre-Chorus: Duet

Past the fields where the tall grass bends

Past the bells on the border fence

Every mile put a spark in us

Every scar became evidence

Chorus: Duet

We rise, we rise, with the whole world turning
