[Verse 1] I knew broke floors and loaned-out days split milk nights and the rent got raised You came through with your torn-up grin said, "Girl, we can start where the cracks begin" Now my shoes got holes and my name got shine you held my hand like you had more time We ate off hope with a spoon and a plan from a half-lit room to a full-grown band [Pre-Chorus] We had air and nerve We had slow-burn faith Two tired hearts but we kept that pace From my last small check to your first real call We kept building up even after the fall [Chorus] From dust to gold (from dust to gold) You made me bold (you made me bold) From nothing, look what we hold We came up hard From dust to gold [Verse 2] You fixed that door with a bent-out nail I painted roses on the water stain trail We shared one coat in the coldest rain and laughed so hard we forgot the pain Now the whole block knows when we walk on by we got that kind of love that don't ask why I was one cracked note you were the steady drum now my whole life sings what we came from [Pre-Chorus] We had air and nerve We had slow-burn faith Two tired hearts but we kept that pace From my last small check to your first real call We kept building up even after the fall [Chorus] From dust to gold (from dust to gold) You made me bold (you made me bold) From nothing, look what we hold We came up hard From dust to gold [Bridge] If the world went cold we'd still be warm In a borrowed coat in a kitchen storm I don't need much when your hands stay near You turned my almost into years [Chorus] From dust to gold (from dust to gold) You made me bold (you made me bold) From nothing, look what we hold We came up hard From dust to gold [Outro] From dust to gold We made a home From dust to gold We were never alone
