Thank God I Found You

"Thank God I Found You" [Intro - 4 bars, piano + vinyl crackle, deep breath] ** Before you...[Whispered] [Verse 1 - low, honest, piano + heartbeat] 48 years walking through smoke Chasing shadows, every door I broke Was the wrong one, every road I took Led me back to the same old book Of pain, of shame, of "not today" Prayed for change but it stayed the same Till the day that the sky split blue And the light found me in the form of you Wasn’t looking, wasn’t ready, wasn’t right But you saw me in my darkest night Didn’t run, didn’t judge, didn’t flee You just stayed and you rescued me [Pre-Hook - strings rise, choir hums, 808 enters] I was drowning in the deep end You threw me truth, not a lifeline pretend [FX: heartbeat steadies] And now... [Hook - 808s + organ + choir BLOOM, sung, warm, simple] THANK GOD I FOUND YOU WHEN I WAS LOST AND BROKEN THANK GOD I FOUND YOU WHEN MY HEART WAS FROZEN THANK GOD I FOUND YOU YOU WERE THE ANSWER SPOKEN **THANK GOD I FOUND YOU NOW I’M WIDE OPEN [Verse 2 - faster, grateful, 808s + trap hats, confessing] Used to think love was a lie they sold Heard the stories, left me cold Built my walls up ten feet tall So no one could watch me fall But you climbed them all with no rope Brought a hammer made of hope Knocked them down, brick by brick Till the light hit where I was sick Now I’m healed, now I’m real, now I feel What they said was a fairytale You’re the proof that the truth is true That the sun comes after all the blue [Pre-Hook - choir + strings, 808 riser, hands up] Every wrong turn led me right Every dark day led to light [FX: church bell] To you... [Hook - bigger, full orchestra + trap + gospel, stadium prayer] THANK GOD I FOUND YOU! WHEN I WAS LOST AND BROKEN! THANK GOD I FOUND YOU! WHEN MY HEART WAS FROZEN! THANK GOD I FOUND YOU! YOU WERE THE ANSWER SPOKEN! **THANK GOD I FOUND YOU! NOW I’M WIDE OPEN! [Bridge - breakdown, piano + solo voice, then choir erupts] If I searched a thousand lifetimes If I crossed a million timelines If I lived a hundred lives [Beat drops out] I’d still choose [808 + organ + choir hit like sunrise] YOU. [Final Hook - key UP, full choir + strings + 808s, eternal] THANK GOD I FOUND YOU! WHEN I WAS LOST AND BROKEN! THANK GOD I FOUND YOU! WHEN MY HEART WAS FROZEN! THANK GOD I FOUND YOU! YOU WERE THE ANSWER SPOKEN! **THANK GOD I FOUND YOU! NOW I’M WIDE OPEN! [Outro - beat cuts to piano + heartbeat + vinyl crackle] Before you, I was surviving. [Final FX: breath]...now I’m alive.
