# POTHOLE VIII — THE ROAD CONTINUES ## “We Walk Together” ### Duet Finale — Under 3 Minutes [Intro — Voice A] There was a time I asked— [Voice A, softly] Can anybody hear me? [Voice B] And someone answered— I'm here. [Verse 1 — Voice A] Now I pass that old familiar place, I remember who I was, I wouldn't choose the darkness, But I know what it has taught. [Voice B] Every scar became a story, Every lesson shaped the road, Not grateful for the suffering— But grateful that you grew. [Pre-Chorus — Alternating] [Voice A] I thought healing meant forgetting. [Voice B] Maybe healing means we know— [Both] The past can walk beside us Without deciding where we go. [Chorus — Duet] [Voice A] We fall— [Voice B] We rise— [Voice A] We lose— [Voice B] We find— [Both] We walk together, One step at a time. Through every road, Through every weather, No one has to walk alone. We'll walk, We'll grow, Together— And keep moving on. [Verse 2 — Voice B] Listen— someone's calling From a place you used to know. [New Distant Voice] Can anybody hear me? [Voice A] I hear you. [Voice B] Now you know what you can offer. [Voice A] Not answers. Not a cure. Just a hand, A little kindness, And a voice that says— I'm here. [Bridge — Duet] [Voice A] I was the one who needed a hand. [Voice B] Now you're reaching yours below. [Voice A] I was the one afraid of the road. [Voice B] Now look how far you go. [Both] Not because the road was easy, Not because the pain was right— But we found meaning While walking toward the light. [Final Chorus — Duet] [Voice A] We fall— [Voice B] We rise— [Voice A] We hurt— [Voice B] We heal— [Both] We walk together Through everything we feel. No perfect road, No perfect weather, Just another chance to grow. We'll walk, We'll grow, Together— Wherever this road goes. [Outro — Distant Voice] Can anybody hear me? [Voice A] I'm here. [Voice B] We're here. [Both] Don't give up. We'll walk and grow together. [Softly] The road continues...
