Echoes of the Soul

(Acoustic guitar strumming softly)

(Rhythmic hand percussion enters)

(Soft piano chords fading in)

Ooh, yeah, let the melody breathe

Listen to the sound of something real

I walk along the dusty road where shadows play

The morning light is chasing all the gray away

I hear the rhythm pulsing deep within the ground

A symphony of silence waiting to be found

I don't need a chorus written by a stranger's hand

I'm tracing out the borders of my own native land

The words are spilling over like a river wide

With nothing left to cover and nowhere left to hide

So use my voice to tell the story of the day

Let it resonate in every single way

It’s the echo of the heart, the truth within the bone

A melody that’s honest, a rhythm all its own

Yeah, use my voice, let the spirit take the lead

It’s the simple conversation that we really need

I keep the tempo steady like a steady stream

Building up the colors of a waking dream

I see the people moving to the selfsame beat

With harmony unfolding on every quiet street

There's beauty in the friction and the gentle sway

Finding all the meaning in what we have to say

I’m weaving through the silence with a steady line

Turning all the rough edges into something fine

So use my voice to tell the story of the day

Let it resonate in every single way

It’s the echo of the heart, the truth within the bone

A melody that’s honest, a rhythm all its own

Yeah, use my voice, let the spirit take the lead

It’s the simple conversation that we really need

It isn't about the volume or the golden light

It's about the ember burning through the velvet night

Just a simple frequency, an honest kind of grace

Looking for the soul inside this open space

(Violin solo swelling)

So when the day is ending and the stars descend

I’ll find a way to make the broken moments mend

It’s written in the way I choose to breathe and stand

With everything I carry in the hollow of my hand

No need to force the rhythm, let it find its flow

It’s all about the seeds that we decide to sow

My voice is just a vessel for the things I feel

Authentic and unwavering, perfectly real

So use my voice to tell the story of the day

Let it resonate in every single way

It’s the echo of the heart, the truth within the bone

A melody that’s honest, a rhythm all its own

Yeah, use my voice, let the spirit take the lead

It’s the simple conversation that we really need

Let it ring out

Just use my voice

Yeah, keep it honest

Keep it real

(Fade out with percussion and violin)
