[Instrumental Intro (slide guitar wails over steady drum groove, warm bass line walks beneath acoustic rhythm; organ hum fills the air like Southern heat)]

[Verse 1 (raspy vocal, laid-back phrasing with grit and heart)]
You sang the truth without disguise
Raised your voice to southern skies
Your fire burned where hearts run wild
A rebel’s soul, a dreamer’s child

[Pre-Chorus (electric guitars shimmer, harmony vocals join softly)]
You left the stage before the end
But every note still rides the wind

[Chorus (full band swells—slide guitar cries, drums hit hard, gospel backing vocals add lift)]
Free soul rising through the flame and rain
Your song still calls through the loss and pain
You sang of pride, you sang of peace
Of finding grace where wild hearts cease
The crowd still roars, the heavens sigh
Free soul rising, you’ll never die

[Verse 2 (acoustic-driven, steady backbeat, warm organ undertone)]
Barefoot truth, your voice was steel
Each line you sang could make us feel
You taught the world to stand up tall
To love the fight, to risk the fall

[Pre-Chorus (electric guitars answer vocal lines with soft fills)]
You left the stage before the end
But every note still rides the wind

[Chorus (anthemic, layered harmonies, slide guitar answering vocal lines)]
Free soul rising through the flame and rain
Your song still calls through the loss and pain
You sang of pride, you sang of peace
Of finding grace where wild hearts cease
The crowd still roars, the heavens sigh
Free soul rising, you’ll never die

[Bridge (tempo slows—guitar solo bends with emotion, organ swells beneath; whispered vocal line)]
You found your wings when the sky turned red
Now every song’s a word unsaid

[Instrumental (guitar solo builds—slide and electric trade lines, bass groove carries through; slow drum fill into silence)]

[Final Chorus (gospel choir joins, full Southern rock energy—anthemic and soaring)]
Free soul rising through the flame and rain
Your song still calls through the loss and pain
You sang of pride, you sang of peace
Of finding grace where wild hearts cease
The crowd still roars, the heavens sigh
Free soul rising, you’ll never die

[Outro (slide guitar fade, final sustained chord, whispered vocal: “still flyin’ high…”)]
