[Intro — solo violin, rubato, then harmonica answers — 70 BPM, D minor] [Verse 1 — female voice, sparse, just acoustic guitar] A little one stood on a chair at the sink Soap on his hands, not a worry, I think Sunday music rolling, something loud or grand Just a small boy helping, joy in each hand [Verse 2 — female voice, mandolin joins, fiddle rising underneath] Driving home through the desert, monsoon clouds high Blue still holding through the greying sky He looked past the dash, past all he could see And he asked me a question that's still asking me [Chorus — full arrangement enters, male and female together, lift to F major] Some souls reflect Heaven So clear it takes your breath They come through us, not from us They carry what's left unsaid Reflecting Heaven [Verse 3 — call and response, strip back to voice and fiddle only] [young Child (male, light):] "Mama, what are those?" [(female):] "Ask your father, love, he'd know—" [Child:] "No — what does GOD say they are?" [Instrumental — harmonica and fiddle trade the same phrase, mirroring the call-and-response, banjo undertone enters] [Verse 4 — female voice, full band under, building] Around the table, voices raised in grace A hearty AMEN filled the space Out of nowhere yet in sync, he said— [Child loud:] "A woman and a child" [Mother:] —and nothing more was said [Chorus — full, D minor to F major lift, strings swelling] Some souls reflect Heaven So clear it takes your breath They come through us, not from us They carry what's left unsaid Reflecting Heaven [Bridge — female voice alone, tempo drops slightly, just violin] Years gone by, he’s crossing the yard My heart just stopped, dropped my guard One look and I saw all the way through Right into Heaven’s Soul [Final Chorus — full chamber arrangement, male/female voices together, banjo, fiddle, harmonica, strings, cathedral swell] Some souls reflect So clear it takes your breath Not because they're perfect Because they never forget Reflecting Heaven Reflecting Heaven [Outro — violin and harmonica trading the melody down to a single held note, then silence]
