[Verse 1] We left with the first pale spark Boots on the broken road You held the map of dusk I held the pulse of gold Every shadow split apart When your hand found mine [Pre-Chorus] And the sky began to lean Like it knew our names Every breath turned sharp and clear As the distance changed [Chorus] Carry the dawn Carry the dawn We rise, we rise, we rise Carry the dawn Carry the dawn Into the light [Verse 2] Glass on the riverbank Flickered like a sign Your laugh cut through the cold Like a ribbon through the night I saw the whole horizon Inside your open eyes [Pre-Chorus] And the ground began to sing Under every step No more turning back now We are not there yet [Chorus] Carry the dawn Carry the dawn We rise, we rise, we rise Carry the dawn Carry the dawn Into the light [Bridge] Hold on The dark is fading fast Hold on We are made to last From skin to sky From flame to flame We were born to cross We were born to change [Final Chorus] Carry the dawn Carry the dawn We rise, we rise, we rise Carry the dawn Carry the dawn Into the light Carry the dawn Carry the dawn We rise, we rise, we rise Carry the dawn Carry the dawn Into the light
