What We Found

(start with piano integration of REFRAIN theme, fade softly into VERSE 1)

VERSE 1:

Before death,

I slam the brakes– take a breath.

Look around–

Standing there above the ground–

After a beat,

We’ll make something out of nothing.

You and I see opportunity.

(directly into REFRAIN):

1st REFRAIN:

On my mind,

That’s where it is.

Through my eyes,

That’s where I see.

In my fingers,

That’s where I grasp

Onto

My new hope.

(Piano interlude/solo, strong. Fade back for VERSE 2)

VERSE 2:

Can you see

What you are doing to me?

Through the blue,

Travel two by two by two.

Never a third,

Destined to walk in pairs.

Running my hands through the crowded air.

(Repeat REFRAIN)

VOCAL BRIDGE:

It took too long for our paths to cross.

But now we’re here.

Here, where

You and I have found a new hope.

You and I have found a new hope.

VERSE 3:

And outside,

Drums will bang against our tide.

Just because.

Foreign beats pulsing for us–

Open the door,

Let it all in– we’ll take it.

Force against force– we’ll face it.

(Closes with 2nd REFRAIN with the same tune of the 1stREFRAIN, with a possible ritard, possible singular chords pulsing in the background)

2nd REFRAIN:

Before death,

That’s where it is.

Through the blue,

That’s where I see.

Open the door,

That’s where I grasp

Onto

Our new hope.

(Softly, transitioning into the tune from the VOCAL BRIDGE)

You and I have found a new hope.

(Piano softly repeating, fade, possible slam on piano at end? Bottom or middle?)
