Cathedrals in My Chest

Sweeping symphonic ballad with piano and lush strings leading, soaring orchestral swells into a towering, emotional chorus, Children’s choir doubles key hook lines, high violins carry counter-melodies, Male vocals, intimate and breathy in verses, exploding into full-voice power on the chorus; big timpani hits and cymbal swells for drama, Final chorus lifts a step, choir and strings in full bloom, then ends on a held vocal note over a soft unresolved chord, emotional, violin, orchestral, ballad

[Verse 1] You slipped your hand in mine Like it always lived there Every broken piece I’d hidden Suddenly in the air I was so used to silence All my colors turned down Then you said my name so softly The whole world turned around [Chorus] You build cathedrals in my chest Every breath Your holy echo When I am shaking You say “rest” And all my storms let go I am on my knees in this Bracing for the flood of bliss Your love is louder than my fear (oh) cathedrals in my chest Every time you’re here [Verse 2] I still wake up haunted By the days I felt small Then your arms become a chorus Rising over it all You turn my doubts to lanterns You light the corners of me All the ghosts that tried to own me Fade when you just breathe [Chorus] You build cathedrals in my chest Every breath Your holy echo When I am shaking You say “rest” And all my storms let go I am on my knees in this Bracing for the flood of bliss Your love is louder than my fear (oh) cathedrals in my chest Every time you’re here [Bridge] [Strings swell Children’s choir softly under] Little hearts inside my heart Singing every time you stay All the shattered Scattered parts Folding into light and praying Praying [Chorus] You build cathedrals in my chest Every breath Your holy echo When I am shaking You say “rest” And all my storms let go I am on my knees in this Bracing for the flood of bliss Your love is louder than my fear (oh) cathedrals in my chest Stay Stay right here
