(Note: Contrast Matrix applied. Verses low and rhythmic, Chorus huge and soaring). [Intro] [A capella, female lead vocal, simple hand claps] Yeah! (da da dum) [Verse 1][Low chest voice, fast conversational rhythm] My bare feet hit the hard baked floor And the mighty wall is crashing down And the chariots are swallowed in the sea And they sink to the depths like a stone [Chorus][Soaring belting voice, sparse powerful hits on the downbeat] This is freedom's dance We are shaking the dust With the timber and the brass ‘Cause the victory is won Yeah He triumphed overhead And the rider is thrown in the sea This is freedom's dance And we’re moving in the sun [Verse 2][Low chest voice, fast conversational rhythm] Got a tight tight grip on the wood With a bright bright jingle in the air I watched Him save my brother as a child Now I'm watching Him do the same thing here [Bridge][Building tension, ascending melody, fast log drum hits] With a blast of the wind from His breath All the water stood up like a heap And the enemy swore they would win But they sank like the lead in the deep [Chorus][Soaring belting voice, sparse powerful hits on the downbeat, massive choir harmony] This is freedom's dance We are shaking the dust With the timber and the brass ‘Cause the victory is won Yeah He triumphed overhead And the rider is thrown in the sea This is freedom's dance And we’re moving in the sun [Verse 3][Low pulsing groove, spoken word rhythmic delivery] And the sun bleeds out on the land In the thick red dirt of the night A deep rhythmic thud is a drum for the weak ‘Cause the Lord is our strength and our might [Outro Chorus][Maximum energy, all instruments in, soaring ad libs] This is freedom's dance We are shaking the dust With the timber and the brass ‘Cause the victory is won Yeah He triumphed overhead And the rider is thrown in the sea This is freedom's dance And we’re moving in the sun [Outro] [Fading log drum, solo shaker, joyful vocal call out] Ooh yeah! (Fade out)
