Lyrics
[Verse 1] Back when the map was a dare in our hands, We drew our own lines past the edge of the plans. You said, “if we’re going, then go all the way,” So we took the long road and gave doubt no say. The hills opened wide like a door thrown apart, And the miles put a wild little fire in our hearts. We were young enough still to believe we could choose Every turn, every risk, every road we could lose. [Pre-Chorus] No ceiling above us, no fence in our view, The world kept on widening the farther we flew. Your hand in my hand, every horizon in reach, We learned what it meant to be more than we’d been. [Chorus] We were born for the wide-open, out past the line, With the whole world turning and your heart next to mine. Let the old walls fall, let the far skies call, We have nothing to fear, we can rise through it all. Take the chance, take the road, let the future unfold, We are fierce, we are free, we are brighter than gold. If the years pull us on, still the truth carries through: I was more fully alive when i ran wild with you. [Verse 2] Years later, i still feel that wind in my chest, Still hear how the unknown could sound like a yes. We crossed every boundary they drew in the sand, Made a home of the distance, a world of our span. No promise of easy, no guarantee made, Just a pulse in our steps and the boldness to stay On the road when it bent, when the climb got steep, With a love that said, “forward. the dream’s ours to keep.” [Pre-Chorus] No ceiling above us, no fence in our view, The world kept on widening the farther we flew. Your hand in my hand, every horizon in reach, We learned what it meant to be more than we’d been. [Chorus] We were born for the wide-open, out past the line, With the whole world turning and your heart next to mine. Let the old walls fall, let the far skies call, We have nothing to fear, we can rise through it all. Take the chance, take the road, let the future unfold, We are fierce, we are free, we are brighter than gold. If the years pull us on, still the truth carries through: I was more fully alive when i ran wild with you. [Bridge] And if the miles grow longer, If the years move like a tide, I will know the way we opened Was a world we made alive. Every daring step still matters, Every heart can choose anew; The horizon never owned us— We were always passing through. [Final chorus] We were born for the wide-open, out past the line, With the whole world turning and your heart next to mine. Let the old walls fall, let the far skies call, We have nothing to fear, we can rise through it all. Take the chance, take the road, let the future unfold, We are fierce, we are free, we are brighter than gold. Though the years pull us on, still the truth carries through: I was more fully alive when i ran wild with you. [Outro] Out past the line, out into the blue, The road keeps on turning; i carry it too. We chose, we believed, we kept breaking through— I was more fully alive when i ran wild with you. Still the horizon is calling us through. Still the horizon is calling us through.
