Verse 1

You drew a map in the dust of the road

A paper promise too light to hold

I kept one match in the pocket of my coat

And walked through the weather alone

Pre-Chorus

Now every mile has a name I know

Every hard-won step says go

Chorus

We rise with the morning, we open the sky

With fire in our hearts and our hands held high

From the edge of the silence, we answer the call

We are more than the fear that once made us small

Verse 2

The old bridge shook, but it carried us through

The river ran silver beneath our shoes

You said, “Keep going; the far bank is near”
