Lyrics
Intro
For the ones who feel it first,
for the ones who show the way,
thank you for tomorrow
that you’re building with today.
Verse 1
You wake up with a mountain
that nobody else can see,
smile through the morning
like it’s just another street.
But every step you’re taking,
every story that you tell,
is a lantern for the next one
walking through it by themselves.
Pre-Chorus
And we don’t know the hour,
we don’t know the day,
when the road you’re walking
might become our way.
Chorus
So thank you for the road,
thank you for the fight,
thank you for the courage
that is leading us to light.
You hurt today,
but you help tomorrow rise,
you’re the reason hope keeps learning
how to open up its eyes.
For every cure still coming,
for every prayer that works,
we thank the brave ones,
the ones who feel it first.
Verse 2
There are names inside a notebook,
there are tests and tired hands,
there are questions being answered
that the world don’t understand.
There are doctors, there are dreamers,
there are families standing near,
and your voice becomes the compass
that keeps pulling healing here.
Pre-Chorus
Because any one of us
could be standing where you stand,
reaching for an answer,
needing someone’s hand.
Chorus
So thank you for the road,
thank you for the fight,
thank you for the courage
that is leading us to light.
You hurt today,
but you help tomorrow rise,
you’re the reason hope keeps learning
how to open up its eyes.
For every cure still coming,
for every prayer that works,
we thank the brave ones,
the ones who feel it first.
Bridge
It could be me tomorrow,
it could be you next year,
life can change its weather
without warning, without fear.
So we won’t look away,
we won’t let your story fade,
we’ll carry it forward
until healing has a name.
Final Chorus
Thank you for the road,
thank you for the fight,
thank you for the courage
that is leading us to light.
You hurt today,
but you help tomorrow rise,
you’re the reason hope keeps learning
how to open up its eyes.
For every cure still coming,
for every life it saves,
for every future fighter
who will walk an easier way,
we thank the brave ones,
the ones who feel it first.
Outro
For the ones who feel it first,
for the ones who show the way,
thank you for tomorrow
that you’re building with today.
