[Verse 1 - raw 1960s strummed acoustic guitar, warm vintage tape hiss and analog warmth, nasal young Dylan-style male vocals with harmonica riff intro and between lines, intimate live-room recording] As we go through the day we pause When agitated or in doubt We ask for the right thought or action Reminding ourselves what this is about We constantly remind ourselves We are no longer running the show Humbly saying to ourselves each day Thy will be done — and we let go [Chorus - full 1960s acoustic strum with harmonica swells, warm layered folk harmonies, heartfelt and resolute Dylan delivery, vintage mono recording feel] Thy will be done We say it many times a day Thy will be done We no longer run the show Thy will be done [Verse 2 - steady rhythmic 1960s strumming, wry reflective Dylan drawl with natural phrasing and tape warmth] We are then in much less danger Of excitement, fear, anger Of worry,self-pity Of foolish decisions We become much more efficient We do not tire so easily No longer burning up our energy Trying to arrange life to suit ourselves [Chorus - full 1960s acoustic strum with harmonica swells, warm layered folk harmonies, heartfelt and resolute Dylan delivery, vintage mono recording feel] Thy will be done We say it many times a day Thy will be done We no longer run the show Thy will be done [Bridge - sparse intimate guitar and harmonica, close-mic vulnerable Dylan rasp with subtle tape flutter, building to quiet defiance] It works — it really does It works — it really does We alcoholics are undisciplined So we let God discipline us In this simple way [Chorus - big strummed 1960s finale with full harmonica and group harmonies, powerful yet raw Dylan resolution, warm analog tape saturation] Thy will be done We say it many times a day Thy will be done We no longer run the show Thy will be done [Outro - gentle slowing strum and fading harmonica, peaceful and resolved Dylan close with lingering tape warmth and room reverb] Thy will be done Thy will be done
