[Verse 1]
Makayla had dreams in a small room glow
Chance had a heart that refused to fold
Paint on the walls, rent due by the door
Two broke hands, still reaching for more
Met by the bus stop, shoes worn thin
Same kind of hurt, same fire within
She said, "I need peace, I need one true lane"
He said, "I got you, girl, we can rise from pain"
[Pre-Chorus]
We was counting coins, now we count our wins
From the cold front steps to the houses we in
No gold on our necks, but we rich in soul
We learned how to love, then we let it roll
[Chorus]
Makayla and Chance
We came up slow
Makayla and Chance
Now we let it go
From nothing to bright
We made it our way
Makayla and Chance
Free every day
[Verse 2]
Late-night shifts and a broke-down car
Laughing through tears in the parking lot
She held his hand when the pressure came
He wrote her name in the edge of a chain
Now it's fresh white sheets and a table set
Old fear talks, but we don't hear it yet
Kids on the floor, and the TV low
A little more love than the world can know
[Pre-Chorus]
We was counting coins, now we count our wins
From the cold front steps to the houses we in
No gold on our necks, but we rich in soul
We learned how to love, then we let it roll
[Chorus]
Makayla and Chance
We came up slow
Makayla and Chance
Now we let it go
From nothing to bright
We made it our way
Makayla and Chance
Free every day
[Bridge]
No smoke in our eyes, no weight on our chest
We found us a life and we gave it our best
If the world said "can't," we said "watch us run"
Two names in the sunrise, shining as one
[Chorus]
Makayla and Chance
We came up slow
Makayla and Chance
Now we let it go
From nothing to bright
We made it our way
Makayla and Chance
Free every day
