[Verse] You came through the morning with your sleeves rolled high A paper cup of coffee and a clear blue sky We had miles to cover, we had room to grow Every small beginning has a place to go [Pre-Chorus] When the road turns rough, keep your hand in mine One step, then another—we’ll be right on time [Chorus] We rise, we rise, with the day in our eyes No weight can hold us, no hill too high We rise, we rise, let the whole world know There’s a way through every door we open as we go [Verse] You drew a little arrow on the back of a receipt Said, “We don’t need a map if we trust our feet” Now the distant ridges look a little less far And the heart that kept us moving knows exactly where we are [Pre-Chorus] When the road turns rough, keep your hand in mine One step, then another—we’ll be right on time [Chorus] We rise, we rise, with the day in our eyes No weight can hold us, no hill too high We rise, we rise, let the whole world know There’s a way through every door we open as we go [Bridge] Take the long way, take it together Rain may come, but it won’t last forever You and me, with our faces turned ahead Every promise lives in the steps we tread [Final Chorus] We rise, we rise, with the day in our eyes No weight can hold us, no hill too high We rise, we rise, let the whole world know There’s a way through every door we open as we go [Outro] One step, then another We rise together
