Текст песни
[Verse 1] You drew a compass on the back of your hand Three little arrows pointing over the land We took the long way past the quarry stone Laughing at every sign we didn't know [Pre-Chorus] The map kept folding in the wind But you said, "Let the road begin" [Chorus] We are learning the shape of the world One bright mile at a time With the sun on the edge of the hills And a brave little spark in our eyes If the horizon keeps moving away We'll keep following where it unfurls You and me, with our hands held high Learning the shape of the world [Verse 2] A red kite climbed above the telephone lines Dipping and rising like it had its own mind You found a feather caught under a stone Held it up like a flag we'd known [Pre-Chorus] The afternoon turned gold and wide No need to know what waited outside [Chorus] We are learning the shape of the world One bright mile at a time With the sun on the edge of the hills And a brave little spark in our eyes If the horizon keeps moving away We'll keep following where it unfurls You and me, with our hands held high Learning the shape of the world [Bridge] Maybe wonder is a muscle we train Maybe courage is a sweet kind of strain Every turn gives the sky a new name Every step makes the distance less strange [Final Chorus] We are learning the shape of the world One bright mile at a time With the sun on the edge of the hills And a brave little spark in our eyes If the horizon keeps moving away We'll keep following where it unfurls You and me, with our hands held high Learning the shape of the world [Outro] You and me, with our hands held high Still learning the shape of the world
