[Intro]
[Verse 1: Female]
Two lunch cards tucked beside the door
A red sock missing from the drawer
My little girl asks where we’ll go
My son counts coins in a cereal bowl
I say, “We’ll find a way today”
Though I don’t know what I should say
The kettle hums, the rent is due
I tie their shoes and follow through
[Pre-Chorus: Female]
I’ve made the wrong turns, more than once
Dropped my pride and missed the bus
But every bruise has taught me this
A small brave step can still exist
[Chorus: Female and Male]
We are learning as we climb
Making room for borrowed time
When the ground gives way below
We hold tight and keep on going
You don’t have to be unafraid
To build a life from what remains
Side by side, through every change
We grow beyond our yesterday
[Verse 2: Male]
I see the tired in your eyes
The brave disguise you wear at night
Two young hearts watching what we do
So I’ll be honest when I lose
I used to think I had to know
The perfect road before we’d go
Now I tell them, “Try, then try again”
A wrong answer isn’t where it ends
[Pre-Chorus: Male]
We’ve said the hard things, let them sting
Apologized for everything
And every time we start anew
The world gets wider for the two of you
[Chorus: Female and Male]
We are learning as we climb
Making room for borrowed time
When the ground gives way below
We hold tight and keep on going
You don’t have to be unafraid
To build a life from what remains
Side by side, through every change
We grow beyond our yesterday
[Bridge: Female]
My daughter draws a yellow door
My son says, “That’s what homes are for”
A place where every cracked mistake
Can turn into a path we make
[Bridge: Male]
So let the morning find us tired
Still carrying what we’ve desired
No perfect map, no promised view
Just one more step with them and you
[Final Chorus: Female and Male]
We are learning as we climb
Turning struggle into time
When the ground gives way below
We hold tight and keep on going
You don’t have to be unafraid
To build a life from what remains
Side by side, through every change
We grow beyond our yesterday
[Outro: Female and Male]
Two small hands inside our own
A better road is being grown
Not because we never fall
But because we rise through it all
