The Barefoot Truth

Gregorian rap, 77 bpm, with monk-like chant rhythms over sparse hand drums and tolling bells; verse 1 keeps it half-spoken and prayerful, pre-chorus lifts with stacked unison chants, chorus hits with layered vocal drones and a bold call-and-response hook, Bridge drops to solo voice and bell echoes, then final chorus blooms with choir doubles, low toms, and wide, cathedral-size mix, rap

V4.5-ALL

[Intro] Hear me in the dust Hear me in the fire (hear me) Hear me when I break Hear me when I tire [Verse 1] The poor man cries out and the proud ones lean in Hands on the throne but their grip wears thin I walk through the dark with a word like stone You keep every tear You count them all [Pre-Chorus] Rise up now Shake the floor Wake the gate Ask for more Rise up now From the deep The low are heard The lost are keeped [Chorus] Holy, holy, hold me now (Sing it) Holy, holy, hold me now The dust has a voice And it calls Your name Holy, holy, hold me now [Verse 2] The mouth of the liar runs fast like a flood But truth stands barefoot in the mud and blood The fists of the wicked fade in the night Your mercy is fire Your justice is light [Pre-Chorus] Rise up now Shake the floor Wake the gate Ask for more Rise up now From the deep The low are heard The lost are keeped [Chorus] Holy, holy, hold me now (Sing it) Holy, holy, hold me now The dust has a voice And it calls Your name Holy, holy, hold me now [Bridge] I was the shadow You named me son I was the wounded You made me one When the long road bends and the world goes cold Your breath in my lungs keeps my soul [Final Chorus] Holy, holy, hold me now (Sing it) Holy, holy, hold me now The dust has a voice And it calls Your name Holy, holy, hold me now
