[Verse 1] The landlord taped a notice by the kettle Rain came through the window near the sill You folded up the blanket from the table Said, “We can leave before the morning chill” I had no answer worth the asking Just two coins and a coat that wouldn’t close You took my hand beside the broken stairwell And showed me where the narrow footpath goes [Pre-Chorus] One step past the doorway One breath against the cold A heart can learn its courage By doing what it’s told [Chorus] We’ll walk anyway Like light is something you can carry Past the flooded fields Past the houses dark and wary If the road gives way We’ll find another place to stand We’ll walk anyway With your fingers in my hand [Verse 2] The bridge was slick, the river climbed the markers Our shoes filled up before we reached the bend You laughed when I apologized for nothing Said, “Hard days don’t get to choose how we begin” A train moved slowly through the valley Its windows making gold across the rain I watched you lift your face into the weather Not unafraid—just moving all the same [Pre-Chorus] One mile past the silence One turn beyond the doubt The door we thought was closing Was only letting us out [Chorus] We’ll walk anyway Like light is something you can carry Past the flooded fields Past the houses dark and wary If the road gives way We’ll find another place to stand We’ll walk anyway With your fingers in my hand [Bridge] I used to think that faith was waiting For a sign to make the choice Now I know it sounds like breathing And it moves inside your voice When the sky comes down in pieces When the last sure thing is gone We don’t need to see the ending We just need to keep moving on [Final Chorus] We’ll walk anyway Like light is something you can carry Past the flooded fields Past the houses dark and wary If the road gives way We’ll find another place to stand We’ll walk anyway With your fingers in my hand [Outro] Morning finds us farther than we planned Mud on our shoes, a sunrise in the land We’ll walk anyway
