[Verse 1 — Donovan] By the riverside where we first spoke, You laughed and knocked my chipped old mug—oak scent and coffee smoke. Neon diner on Fifth, your red scarf in the rain, You said, "We’ll change the weather," like you always calm my ache. [Verse 1 — Lily] You fold the map into the corner of your smile, Say dates like numbers, count the miles with steady style. You hum that scratched vinyl song, I watch the way you try, You lose at chess but win the sunrise in my sky. [Pre-Chorus — Call & Response] Donovan: I keep the steady, I trace the line— Lily: I bring the color, the spark, the rhyme. Both: Two notes that bend into one bright sign— Both (echo): We learn, we lean, we climb. [Chorus ] Raise our hands, light the sky Donovan, Lily — fly Night to day, we hold on Song of us, carry on [Post-Chorus Tag — Chant] We rise — we rise We rise — we rise [Verse 2 — Donovan] Concrete sidewalks, your jacket on my chair, You leave a hurried note — a coffee stain, a dare. I tuck those days into my pocket like a coin, Small things keep the map where both our futures join. [Verse 2 — Lily] Late-night rain taps Morse code on the lamplight, We count the neon reflections, make them ours by right. You trace the skyline with the tip of your tired hand, I answer with a grin, the kind that knows our plans. [Pre-Chorus — Call & Response] Donovan: I’ll steer the boat through channels I can read— Lily: I’ll paint the sky when sunlight’s what you need. Both: We swap our fears for something new and kind— Both (echo): We learn, we lean, we climb. [Chorus ] Raise our hands, light the sky Donovan, Lily — fly Night to day, we hold on Song of us, carry on [Post-Chorus Tag — Chant] We rise — we rise We rise — we rise [Bridge — Duet / Call & Answer] Donovan: Do you remember the corner bench at two? Lily: You spilled your coat and said, "I’m staying—true." Donovan: Your laugh lit up the midnight crook like summer fire— Lily: I tuck that heat inside the moments we require. Donovan (soft): When the city hushes, I still hear your line— Lily (bright): When the radio crackles, you make the chords align. Both: We trade our quiet for a fearless headline— Both (echo): One heart, two names, one tide. [Final Chorus — Anthem] Raise our hands, light the sky Donovan, Lily — fly Night to day, we hold on Song of us, carry on [Final Post-Chorus Tag — Anthem Chant] We rise — we rise We rise — we rise [Outro ] By the riverside, neon and rain combined, Two ordinary lighthouses — your laugh beside mine. We fold our small, saving things into a single line, Donovan, Lily — keep the light, we rise.
