Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I woke up with the sun on the table
Half a cup and a map in my hand
You were tying up hope like a ribbon
At the edge of the parking lot band
We laughed at the wind in the banners
Dust on our shoes, paint on our knees
Everybody came carrying something
And laid it down soft by the trees
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, the day is opening
Ooh, look what we get to be
Shoulder to shoulder now
One small fire, one big sea
[Chorus]
Come on, lift it up
Lift it up today
Hands in the air
And the old fear fades
Sing it back, sing it back
Till the whole field sways
We are, we are
Better this way
[Verse 2]
Grandma danced with a paper cup laughing
Kids ran circles round the food stand line
Old blue truck with the tailgate open
Somebody brought homemade apple wine
Your voice hit mine like a familiar doorway
Right where the worry used to live
And every face in the turning circle
Looked like a reason to forgive
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, the day is opening
Ooh, look what we get to be
All our little broken roads
Leading us to one heartbeat
[Chorus]
Come on, lift it up
Lift it up today
Hands in the air
And the old fear fades
Sing it back, sing it back
Till the whole field sways
We are, we are
Better this way
[Bridge]
If the road gets long
We’ll be the song
If the sky goes gray
We’ll make our own flame
One more time
Let it roll
From the first hello
To the last goodbye
[Final Chorus]
Come on, lift it up
Lift it up today
Hands in the air
And the old fear fades
Sing it back, sing it back
Till the whole field sways
We are, we are
Better this way
Lift it up
Lift it up today
Home in our hands
And our hearts in play
Sing it back, sing it back
Till the whole field sways
We are, we are
Better this way
(We are, we are)
(Better this way)
