High on the Holy Herb

Clapping Southern choir gospel with organ swells and tambourine, big call-and-response energy, Verses start sparse with piano and handclaps, then choir and Hammond build, Chorus explodes with stacked harmonies, modulating up for the final round, Female vocals leading, joyful and preachy, with a playful wink in the delivery, praise, gospel

[Intro]
[Spoken
Preacher-style]
Church
I said church
Y’all came in heavy
But the Lord made a garden
And the garden made you ready
Say—

[Verse 1]
I was stressed
I was broken
Mind racing
Heart cold and closed
Then I reached for that green creation
And I felt Heaven touch my soul
You can keep all your angry judging
I just want that peaceful mind
If the Lord made every seed that’s sprouting
Then this little leaf is by design (hey!)

[Chorus]
I get high on the holy herb (hallelujah!)
Lift my hands
Let the worries burn
Breathing in
I feel that grace return
I get high on the holy herb
Thank You
Lord
For the sweet
Sweet cure
Every cloud got a blessing stirred
I get high on the holy herb

[Verse 2]
They say “child
That smoke ain’t righteous”
But they never seen me pray so clear
On my porch with the fire slow glowing
I can feel my Savior near
Got my auntie
My cousin
My brother
Passing peace like communion wine
We just singing ’bout a kinder kingdom
Where the anxious heart unwinds

[Chorus]
I get high on the holy herb (yes I do!)
Lift my hands
Let the worries burn
Breathing in
I feel that grace return
I get high on the holy herb
Thank You
Lord
For the sweet
Sweet cure
Every cloud got a blessing stirred
I get high on the holy herb

[Bridge]
Some find comfort in a pill and a bottle
I find comfort in a leaf and a prayer
If it grows from the ground that You watered
Then I know Your fingerprint’s there (oh yeah)
So I’ll praise You with a lit-up hallelujah
Every exhale
I lay down my fear
Let that mercy move slow through my body
Till Your still
Small voice is all I hear

[Outro]
[Call] Can I get a “puff
Puff
Praise”?
[Response] Puff
Puff
Praise!
[Call] Can I get a “thank You
Lord”?
[Response] Thank You
Lord!
I get high on the holy herb
’Cause Your love’s in every herb and word
(High, so high, in the Most High’s care)
