Dreamlike gospel-soul in C — spacious piano, warm organ, restrained drums, rising choir Progression C | Gm | Fdim | C B♭ | F | C | B♭ [Intro] Today the Earth stood still and asked questions of the sky. The heat lifted. A dream froze. Nature counted every living thing— then forgot the reason why. [Verse 1] C Lately, ancient questions Gm have been stirring once again. Fdim We are yearning for a miracle, C watching closely for a sign. B♭ Every road has lost its markings. F Every compass turns unsure. C When the world can’t give an answer, B♭ where shall we turn? [Chorus] C We gather in the purple house, Gm where the orange pews are worn. Fdim We leave the chaos at the threshold C and enter something more. B♭ Through the large red door together, F through the portal, through the years— C trust becomes the bridge that carries B♭ what the past abandoned here. [Verse 2] C Faith created its own pleasure— Gm not an answer, but a place; Fdim a mighty shelter we could count on C when the world became unsafe. B♭ Here, our weakness goes unharvested. F No one turns our wounds to gain. C We can stand without our armor. B♭ We can learn to trust again. [Pre-Chorus] Gm Awe arrives without announcement. Fdim Intimacy enters slow. C What we thought had disappeared B♭ was only waiting to be known. [Chorus] C We gather in the purple house, Gm where the orange pews are worn. Fdim We leave the chaos at the threshold C and enter something more. B♭ Through the large red door together, F through the portal, through the years— C trust becomes the bridge that carries B♭ what the past abandoned here. [Bridge] Fdim Can a frozen dream awaken? C Can a question become prayer? B♭ Can the Earth look toward the heavens F and find an answer waiting there? C Can the things that we can measure Gm ever tell us what they mean? Fdim Or does wonder start precisely B♭ where the numbers cease to speak? [Final Chorus] C We gather in the purple house. Gm We come carrying what we’ve known. Fdim Every question finds a resting place; C no one has to stand alone. B♭ Through the large red door together, F past the boundary of our fear— C faith becomes the bridge beneath us, B♭ and eternity draws near. [Outro] Today the Earth stood still and asked questions of the sky. The heat lifted. The dream awakened. And no one needed to know why.
