The Caramel of Christ [ Short Intro - 4 bars ] [Male spoken Dialogue: intimate whisper] ...I can still smell the wet cement and the morning dew... ...It started with a piece of bread and a wagging tail. [ Verse 1: Intimate Vulnerable Vocals ] On the rise of the hill where the cement was piled high The dust of the hammers would reach for the sky A wayward gold soul with no master or name He walked to the site where the steel beams proclaim. [ Pre-Chorus 1: Building Emotional Tension, Passionate Vocals ] A mason with calluses reached through the gray To welcome a wanderer found on the way. [ Chorus 1: Upfront Solo Vocals, Clear Articulation ] The love that we build is the grace that we keep A promise we wake for and guard while we sleep From the peak of the ridge to the dust on the ground True faith is a heart where a lost soul is found. [ Verse 2: Intimate Vulnerable Vocals ] The bricklayer shared every meal from his tin Inviting the spirit of Caramel in A shadow was cast by the monument's wall To shelter the creature who answered his call. [ Pre-Chorus 2: Building Emotional Tension, Passionate Vocals ] The afternoon fell and the workers would leave A pattern of kindness that no one could weave. [ Chorus 2: Upfront Solo Vocals, Clear Articulation ] The love that we build is the grace that we keep A promise we wake for and guard while we sleep From the peak of the ridge to the dust on the ground True faith is a heart where a lost soul is found. [Instrumental Break - Soulful Expressive Saxophone Solo] [ Bridge 1: Dry Upfront Vocals, Crisp Piano, Tight Rhythm ] The hammer hits steel with a ring sharp and clear In silence of dawn when the morning is near He sits at the gate with his eyes on the track Just waiting for boots and a hand on his back. [ Verse 3: Intimate Vulnerable Vocals ] The Great Protector rose tall in the light A giant of stone in the blue and the white The scaffolding fell as the work reached its end The master remained with his four-legged friend. [ Pre-Chorus 3: Building Emotional Tension, Passionate Vocals ] The city looked up at the statue's great face But the real miracle walked in that space. [ Chorus 3: Upfront Solo Vocals, Clear Articulation ] The love that we build is the grace that we keep A promise we wake for and guard while we sleep From the peak of the ridge to the dust on the ground True faith is a heart where a lost soul is found. [ Bridge 2: Dry Upfront Vocals, Crisp Piano, Tight Rhythm ] They call him a symbol of all that is pure A golden-furred guardian who learned to endure The Caramel of Christ for the wandering crowd A humble devotion that makes a world proud. [ Verse 4: Intimate Vulnerable Vocals ] Now millions of screens see the wag of his tail A story of kindness that never will fail The bricklayer’s hands and the dog by his side Are the soul of the mountain where secrets reside. [ Pre-Chorus 4: Building Emotional Tension, Passionate Vocals ] The monument stands for the heavens above The dirt holds the weight of a physical love. [ Final Chorus: Upfront Solo Vocals, Clear Articulation ] The love that we built is the truth we can hold A story of clay and a spirit of gold From the heights of the hill to the peace in our chest The Caramel of Christ has made all of us blessed. [ Outro: Upfront Dry Vocals, Fading Emotional Resonance ] The hammer is silent, the work is all done Two shadows are walking into the sun The gold in the fur and the heart in the hand Still guarding the gate of the holy land. [Male spoken Dialogue with quiet reflective warmth] ...look at him wagging his tail... same hill, same friend. ...yeah... we’re home now, buddy.
