LEONARDO Who never stopped asking questions.

--- # 🎶 **“LEONARDO (OPEN YOUR EYES)”** *A cappella Black Gospel / Church Style* --- ## **Intro (Spoken – Preacher style)** Can I tell you a story? (Choir: *Tell it!* ) About a man… Who never stopped asking questions. (Choir: *My Lord!*) --- ## **Verse 1 (Lead Solo)** 1452, born with no name Vinci, Italy, no family fame But he had eyes, yes he had sight Looking at the world day and night Watching birds up in the sky Said, “Lord, why can’t a man fly high?” Nature talking, he listened close Every “why” turned into hope --- ## **Chorus 1 (Call & Response – Medium Energy)** **Lead:** Open your eyes! **Choir:** *Open your eyes!* **Lead:** Look at the world! **Choir:** *Look at the world!* **Lead:** Art and science, hand in hand! **Choir:** *Ain’t no line when you understand!* **All:** Paint it! Build it! Write it down! Leonardo was heaven-bound Using his mind, using his soul Trying to see the Bigger Whole --- ## **Verse 2 (Lead)** Florence city, working hard Paint on his hands, dreams in his heart Mona Lisa smiling slow Secrets only God would know Bones and gears on the same page So far ahead of his own age Didn’t need the world to agree He just followed curiosity --- ## **Chorus 2 (Bigger – Stomps / Claps implied)** **Lead:** Open your mind! **Choir:** *Open your mind!* **Lead:** Don’t be afraid! **Choir:** *Don’t be afraid!* **Lead:** God gave you more than one way! **Choir:** *Say that! Say that!* **All:** Not just faith! Not just art! Not just dreams inside the heart! Use your head! Use your hand! That’s the work of a mighty plan! --- ## **Bridge (Quiet → Build, Testimony Feel)** Late at night, writing reversed Trying to understand the curse “What is man supposed to be?” God wrote questions, not receipts --- ## **Shout / Vamp (Traditional Black Gospel Style – Repeat freely)** **Lead (ad-lib):** He kept looking! **Choir:** *He kept looking!* **Lead:** He kept asking! **Choir:** *He kept asking!* **Lead:** Even when nobody understood! **Choir:** *But he kept on anyway!* **Vamp (All – Repeat):** Look closer! Think deeper! Use what God gave you! (Repeat, build, modulate if you want) --- ## **Final Declaration (Breakdown → Big Finish)** 1519, his hands laid down But the vision still goes around If you can see it (Choir: *See it!*) If you can dream it (Choir: *Dream it!*) That same spark Still lives in you! --- ## **Outro (Slow Gospel Release)** Open your eyes… Open your mind… Mm… yeah… ---
