[Verse 1] [M] I ran from the ash With my mother in my hands They took her last breath Now they chase me through the sand [F] They named me at birth For a blade on the stone Kept my head bowed low Told me gods need a bone [M] Then you stepped from the reeds Like a wound learning light [F] And your eyes said "stay" Even here, in this night [Pre-Chorus] [M] We were made to break [F] We were made to burn [M] Every locked-up gate [F] Every lie must turn [Chorus] [M] Run with me now [F] Run with me now Both: We break the chain, we break the chain [M] Take my hand [F] Take my hand Both: A place to live, a place to name [M] Run with me now [F] Run with me now Both: We break the chain, we break the chain [Verse 2] [F] My veil weighed like rain On the day I was sold To the mouth of the crowd And the hands of the old [M] I wore my fear like a crown On the back of my neck Every step of my road Was a debt I couldn't pay back [F] But you laughed in the dark Like the dark was a door [M] Said "there's more than their hymns" And I wanted more [Pre-Chorus] [F] We were made to run [M] We were made to rise [F] Past the iron laws [M] Past the watchful eyes [Chorus] [M] Run with me now [F] Run with me now Both: We break the chain, we break the chain [M] Take my hand [F] Take my hand Both: A place to live, a place to name [M] Run with me now [F] Run with me now Both: We break the chain, we break the chain [Bridge] [Soft, half-time] [M] We found the river Under root and bone [F] We found a door of stone Then a room of gold [M] Not gods [F] Not graves Both: A name carved deep in the walls [M] Old blood [F] Lost song Both: And a sky that would not fall [Final Chorus] [M] Run with me now [F] Run with me now Both: We break the chain, we break the chain [M] Take my hand [F] Take my hand Both: A place to live, a place to name [M] Run with me now [F] Run with me now Both: We break the chain, we break the chain [Outro] [M] Safe haven [F] Safe haven Both: We were never meant to kneel [M] Safe haven [F] Safe haven Both: In the dark, we learned what's real
