V5.5

[Intro — 0:00-0:20 — CLASSICAL, 72 BPM. Didgeridoo alone, then strings state the chorus melody, no voice]

[Verse 1 — 0:20-0:50 — CLASSICAL, 72 BPM. Warm baritone, strings and woodwind, D3-A3, restrained]
Come in, sit down,
you don't have to explain.
Nobody here arrived complete
and nobody's pretending.

We saw what you made.
That was enough.
That was always enough.

[Chorus 1 — 0:50-1:20 — HARD CUT. OPERA, 66 BPM. Full orchestra, soaring tenor, D4-A4, no restraint]
I love you just the way you are,
not for what you could become —
though I'd gladly help you
come to yourself,
and shine the way you were meant to shine,
not the way they want you to.

[Verse 2 — 1:20-1:50 — HARD CUT. REGGAE, 74 BPM. Skank guitar, deep bass, one-drop, relaxed, A3-D4]
What comes from the heart is art.
That's the whole rule.
Express yourself freely here —
and enjoy that liberty
while you still can.

Zero tolerance
is not tolerated.

[Bridge — 1:50-2:20 — HARD CUT. ROCK BALLAD, 80 BPM. Distorted guitar, live drums, weathered voice, D3-F#4]
But it isn't free.
Freedom has a price
and the price is being disliked.

Come last in every contest.
Get downvoted into the floor.
Get banned again.

[The Maxim — 2:20-2:45 — HARD CUT. OPERA RETURNS, 60 BPM. Full orchestra, tenor at maximum, D4-A4]
The more resistance you get,
the more it proves
you were doing something right.

Not a number.
Not a slave.
A sovereign human being.
A decent one.

[Verse 3 — 2:45-3:10 — HARD CUT. CLASSICAL RETURNS, 72 BPM. Strings only, baritone, quiet, D3-A3]
Your house is not the building.
Your house is the people you live in.

So this is our safe place,
and it is not a room,
it is us.

[Chorus 2 — 3:10-3:55 — HARD CUT. REGGAE, 74 BPM. Whole room singing along badly, foot stomps, table percussion, D3-F#4]
I love you just the way you are,
not for what you could become —
though I'd gladly help you
come to yourself,
and shine the way you were meant to shine,
not the way they want you to.

Mi casa es su casa.
My house is your house.
We grant you a warm welcome.

[Outro — 3:55-4:30 — everything stops. Didgeridoo alone, no tempo]
[one voice, alone, unaccompanied, spoken almost more than sung, D3-F#3]
I am enough.

[REGGAE returns at 74 BPM, whole room at once, warm and loud]
So say we all.

[voices drop out one by one, didgeridoo last, then a room going quiet]
So say we all.

So say we all.
