[Verse 1] The map ends where the county road bends Rain taps time on the bus-stop tin I count each mile by the names I know And still don't know where the road will go [Pre-Chorus] But your note is folded in my coat Ink running thin, still I read it slow “You don't have to see the whole way through” I hold that line like a match held true [Chorus] When the ground gives way beneath my feet When the next turn hides beyond the trees I will take one breath, then one more step Hope is a hand I haven't met yet In the blackest hour, I won't call it done Somewhere past the clouds, the day has begun [Verse 2] The power cuts; the kitchen clock stops A glass of water trembles on the top I hear your laugh from that summer fair And feel a little room inside the air [Pre-Chorus] No grand sign, no easy answer found Just the small brave pulse that keeps me bound To the people waiting on the other side To the self I haven't left behind [Chorus] When the ground gives way beneath my feet When the next turn hides beyond the trees I will take one breath, then one more step Hope is a hand I haven't met yet In the blackest hour, I won't call it done Somewhere past the clouds, the day has begun [Bridge] Maybe courage isn't knowing why Maybe it's a door left open wide Maybe morning comes in quiet clothes Through the crack beneath the door [Final Chorus] When the ground gives way beneath my feet When the next turn hides beyond the trees I will take one breath, then one more step Hope is a hand I haven't met yet In the blackest hour, I won't call it done Somewhere past the clouds, the day has begun [Outro] One more step One more breath The road goes on
