Prompt:

[Verse 1] On the long road Between cities and borders He keeps moving on While the town stays asleep Distant lights in the rain On a glass-dark window Every mile in his hands Every dream in the seat [Pre-Chorus] No one sees the whole run No one counts the hours The moon on his shoulders The weight of every mile But he keeps the faith In the cold and the silence One small promise ahead And a fire in his style [Chorus] Mile by mile He gets it there Mile by mile He takes it there No one sees The road he chose But it lands Where it belongs Mile by mile (he gets it there) Mile by mile (he takes it there) [Verse 2] At sunrise, a shop door swings Hands roll up the steel blinds A family starts again With flour on their sleeves Then an idea takes form On a paper at the table Turns into a name Turns into a place to breathe [Pre-Chorus] No one hears the first knock No one sees the first answer The doubts in the hallway The late-night borrowed hope But they keep going on With a box full of courage One little spark at a time Till the whole thing grows [Chorus] Mile by mile He gets it there Mile by mile He takes it there No one sees The road he chose But it lands Where it belongs Mile by mile (he gets it there) Mile by mile (he takes it there) [Bridge] Behind every banner Behind every window There are hands in the dark Making room for the light Silent stories No one ever names Still they carry the world Through the long, long night [Final Chorus] Mile by mile We get it there Mile by mile We take it there No one sees The road we walk But it lands Where it belongs Mile by mile (we get it there) Mile by mile (we take it there)
