[INTRO — distant AM radio / broken broadcaster & static] "...the problem it seems for most artists..." [«signal fades»] "...you'll find greater— INSTANCES..." (instances... s... s...) "...artists who find the Lord our God..." [«static burst»] "...are often attacked..." "...those who seek Jesus often war with The Great Deceiver..." "...manipulation of their unique..." [«frequency slips»] "...their unique light..." [«dial searching»] "...and if the light is true..." [«signal lost»] "...someone always wants to own it..." (engine begins softly) ──────────────────── [VERSE 1 — doo-wop trapadelic groove] [FALSETTO] Cruisin' late, I came across that noise... That noise that made me doubt... Made me doubt that voice... [TENOR-BARITONE] Who am I speaking to? In the silence after midnight blue? [FALSETTO] Does the Lord my God Truly answer? [TENOR-BARITONE] Or am I only hearing Echoes of disaster? [DUET] Does it seem like a lie... What I feel and find inside? Do I recognize The Sovereign King... Or kneel... Worshiping the lie? (doo-wop choir: "lie... lie... lie...") ──────────────────── [PRE-CHORUS — signal interference building] [TENOR-BARITONE] Every station says it's truth... [FALSETTO] Every shadow wears a crown... [TENOR-BARITONE] Every voice says follow me... [FALSETTO] But not every voice lays down... [BOTH] Its life... For the lost... ──────────────────── [CHORUS — radio interruptions become rhythmic] (RADIO SIGNAL) "...who am..." «static» "...who am I..." [FALSETTO] Who am I? [TENOR-BARITONE] Who did you seek? [FALSETTO] I don't know for sure... [TENOR-BARITONE] Then why does your soul still reach? [FALSETTO] I don't know for sure... [BOTH] But I want... To seek the Lord... (RADIO SIGNAL) "...seek..." "...seek..." (BOTH) If the road is dark... And the signs distort... I don't know everything... But I want... To seek the Lord... ──────────────────── [VERSE 2 — deeper groove / reggae sway] [TENOR-BARITONE] I chased every lantern Hung over the sea... Thought every reflection Was speaking to me... Thought every strange wonder Must surely be gold... Until the counterfeit Started sounding old... [FALSETTO] Funny how peace arrives Quiet as rain... Not demanding worship... Not calling my name... Not asking for kingdoms... Or secrets to own... Just teaching my restless heart How to come home... [TENOR-BARITONE] Maybe the question Was never "am I chosen?" [FALSETTO] Maybe the answer Was already spoken... [BOTH] Soft as a whisper Beneath all the noise... ──────────────────── [CHORUS 2 — larger / conflict intensifies] (RADIO SIGNALS COLLIDING) "...follow me..." "...you are chosen..." "...you are king..." "...you are dust..." [FALSETTO] Who am I? [TENOR-BARITONE] Ignore the machines... [FALSETTO] Who did I seek? [TENOR-BARITONE] Look beyond the dreams... [FALSETTO] I don't know for sure... [TENOR-BARITONE] Then listen for peace... [BOTH] The voice that brings rest Never arrives with chains... (DOO-WOP CHOIR) Seek... Seek... Seek... The Lord... ──────────────────── [BRIDGE — half-time / cinematic lift] [TENOR-BARITONE] Then suddenly... The static grew tired... [FALSETTO] The shadows stopped selling The things I desired... [TENOR-BARITONE] No thunder... No spectacle... [FALSETTO] Just truth standing quietly... Waiting nearby... (BOTH) I know whom I seek... I know whom I seek... Not because I saw everything... Not because I understand... But because His peace remained... When every other signal ran... [BOTH] I know whom I seek... I know whom I seek... And His light asks nothing from me... Except to walk... And believe... ──────────────────── [FINAL CHORUS — triumphant] [FALSETTO] I know for sure... [TENOR-BARITONE] I know whom I seek... [FALSETTO] I know for sure... [TENOR-BARITONE] His mercy found me... [BOTH] Through every broken frequency... Every counterfeit dream... Through every voice that promised crowns... There was only One Who brought me peace... (DOO-WOP CHOIR) Peace... Peace... Peace... ──────────────────── [OUTRO — engine and radio fading] (RADIO STATIC) "...perhaps the test was never..." [«signal drops»] "...whether you could hear Him..." (engine fades away) "...but whether you could recognize..." [«static»] "...peace..." (long silence) "...when it arrived..." (signal disappears) END
