[Vocal Range]: G2-E4 [Exclusions]: No heavy metal, no screaming, no electronic synths, no pop auto-tune. [Extended Intro] (Slow, rolling reggae bassline enters) (Bluesy acoustic guitar licks) (Warm organ swell) [Verse 1] I woke up dis mornin' with the weight on my chest Same ol' troubles knockin', won't give me no rest Walked down the dirt road where the streetlamps dim Carryin' this load like a heavy ol' hymn [Chorus] [Call and response] They can try to hold me down but my stride still wild (Stride still wild!) Like a river keep runnin' like a reckless child I sing for the weary, I sing for the bold [Layered harmonies] This ache in my bones is the root of the song (Root of the song!) [Instrumental Interlude] (Syncopated reggae guitar skank) [Verse 2] Woman left me standin' with the blues in my hands Said luck don't live here in these hard-workin' lands But the sun still sinkin' and the night still long I pick up my guitar and I turn it to song [Chorus] [Call and response] They can try to hold me down but my stride still wild (Stride still wild!) Like a river keep runnin' like a reckless child I sing for the weary, I sing for the bold [Layered harmonies] This ache in my bones is the root of the song (Root of the song!) [Guitar Solo] (Gritty blues overdrive over a steady reggae one-drop beat) [Bridge] [Double-tracked] No weights on my boots and no fear in my sight I been through the gravel and I still recognize The struggle is real but the grit don't die I keep movin' forward with my head held high [Organ Solo] (Swirling Hammond B3 solo) [Chorus] [Gang vocals] They can try to hold me down but my stride still wild (Stride still wild!) Like a river keep runnin' like a reckless child I sing for the weary, I sing for the bold [Layered harmonies] This ache in my bones is the root of the song [Extended Outro] From the streets of the city to the hills far away I carry this message every night, every day Truth is the answer, yeah the only true key But sometimes this dirt road still feel heavy on me (Fading blues guitar licks) (Deep bass sustains) [End]
