[Intro – 104 BPM, sparse clean acoustic guitar arpeggio, warm acoustic guitar underneath, subtle piano, restrained live drums] [Verse 1 – intimate male vocal, Kansas-inspired progressive rock feel, acoustic/clean electric interplay, melodic bass, understated rhythmic complexity] My phone's blue light glowing On the counter My inner voice keeps telling me The whole world's spinning faster We're only here a few seasons On a borrowed piece of stone Counting down every second While the years keep marching on [Pre-Chorus – drums gradually open, bass becomes more melodic, guitars begin layering, vocal intensity rises] But maybe all we leave behind Is a name, a footprint, a sign And every now and then I feel There's something more than time [Chorus – full arena-rock explosion, Boston-inspired soaring guitars, layered harmonies, powerful live drums, wide melodic vocal] There's a feeling pulling me Somewhere I can't see A little bit of grace Surrounding me Maybe we're just moments Washed away by the rain But something in the stillness says We're more than we can name [Verse 2 – pull back, acoustic guitar and clean electric return, melodic bass, thoughtful vocal] My neighbor tends his garden While the headlines speak of fire He harvests another row of green Like hope is not expired Maybe that's the answer Maybe that's enough To mind the simple things And leave the rest to something above [Pre-Chorus – gradual build, layered guitars and rising vocal harmony] Everything we're holding Will eventually let go But there's a light inside the aching That still refuses to let go [Chorus – huge melodic arena-rock lift, soaring harmonized guitars, stacked vocals] There's a feeling pulling me Somewhere I can't see A little bit of grace Surrounding me Maybe we're just moments Washed away by the rain But something in the stillness says We're more than we can name [Bridge – dramatic drop, sparse piano and clean guitar, intimate vocal; gradually build] I used to believe We arose from nothing And we'd return just the same Fading sparks against the darkness With no one there to blame Then one night I stopped running And felt a peace in the air Not an answer Not a voice Just knowing something's there [Final Chorus – biggest section, soaring guitars, massive drums, stacked harmonies, triumphant emotional lift] There's a feeling pulling me Somewhere I can't see A little bit of grace Surrounding me Maybe we're just moments Washed away by the rain But something in the stillness says We're more than we can name [Outro – instruments gradually fall away, warm acoustic guitar, distant electric guitar, intimate vocal, long final pause] We're dust carried in the sunlight Breath against the wind When we fade from this world It may not be the end Dust in the sunlight Breath against the wind Fading... [Long pause – nearly silent] But not... Alone
