[Verse 1]
I woke with a map folded under my coat
Three red marks where the old roads broke
Found a rusted key in a farmer’s field
No door in the world would make it yield
[Pre-Chorus]
We search every room, every buried sign
But the thing we need keeps moving the line
[Chorus]
We can’t find what we came to find
In this lost world turning blind
Pain puts a stone in the mouth of the day
Still we rise, though it hurts the same way
Still we rise, though it hurts the same way
[Verse 2]
Your hands were cracked from carrying stone
Mine learned silence from sleeping alone
At the county gate, they counted our names
Then sold us a promise and called it a change
[Pre-Chorus]
We followed the river through dust and wire
Every answer cooled before the fire
[Chorus]
We can’t find what we came to find
In this lost world turning blind
Pain puts a stone in the mouth of the day
Still we rise, though it hurts the same way
Still we rise, though it hurts the same way
[Bridge]
Let the low horn mourn for the years we gave
Let the high horn call from the edge of the grave
If mercy is hiding, we’ll knock till it hears
If hope has a price, we’ll pay with these tears
[Breakdown]
No clean road
No open door
No promised land
Like before
But your shoulder meets mine in the falling rain
And we take one more step through the hurt again
[Final Chorus]
We can’t find what we came to find
But we won’t leave our names behind
Pain still sits in the bones of the day
Still we rise, though it hurts the same way
Still we rise, though it hurts the same way
[Outro]
The map is torn
The road is bare
We keep walking
Because you’re there
