[Intro: Melancholic Acoustic Slide Guitar, 417Hz Solfeggio Pad & Rain Sounds]
(Mmm, yeah...)
(Wipe the salt away, Lord...)
(Sha-ma-ha-ra-ta! Open the door!)
(Listen close now)
[Verse 1: Gritty, Raw Americana Storytelling]
This salt that surrounds me, tell me, is it a prison?
Trapping me in place, fighting the shadows that have risen
Binding my home, keeping my spirit locked tight in the dark
A single grain upon my lips trying to stifle my spark
A distaste to my mind, a harm that has to be undone
An alarm to be turned off before the rising of the sun
Time is passing fast, I can hear the ticking of the clock
The salt that surrounds me is trying to make my destiny block
I wish it was gone, I wish it didn't feel so heavy and evil
Like a quiet curse trying to swallow the dreams of Your people
(Oh, I want it gone, Lord...)
[Pre-Chorus: Heavy Foot-Stomps & Crisp Snaps Build]
But puddles follow me everywhere I choose to go
(Split splat, split splat!)
I can hear the shadows of my past whispering low
Envying the power and the control that I have today
But I’m not wavering, I’m never looking back at the gray!
I feel the shift starting, I can hear the countdown chime
[Vocal Stutter] (S-S-Salty tears!)
I’m taking back my time!
[Beat Drop: Heavy Slow 808 Sub-Bass & Choir Explode]
[Chorus: Explosive, Soaring Gothic Belt & Shouting Choir]
I’m stepping right out of the revolving doors!
It seems like the whole world is spinning, but I am Yours!
I confidently choose the path that’s been open all along!
Wiping off the salt, stepping forward, standing so strong!
The Lord has brought me to this point, I’m not that girl anymore!
I was lost, I was weak, but He’s unlocked the golden door!
(Glory to the Father, yeah!)
[Post-Chorus: Playful Jazz Scat & Rhythm Hook]
(Split splat, split splat, let the heavy water rain!)
(Ski-bi-di-bop, washing off the sorrow and the pain!)
(Yeah, yeah, out of the spinning door!)
[Verse 2: Snappy, Rhythmic Neo-Soul Pocket]
I never look back to see the bitter tears that I once shed
The pain that I wept, the heavy words that the enemy said
For those are in a past life, and I am standing tall
With a firm, steady footstep, I won't stumble or fall
The comfort I gain from hearing the rain hit the pavement stone
Reminds my weary heart that I am never, ever alone
No more letting the salt swallow my dreams and my aspirations
No more carrying the baggage of the old generations
My children are protected, my home is built on solid gold
I’m stepping out of the shadows, breaking every broken mold!
(Breaking the mold, yeah!)
[Pre-Chorus: Heavy Foot-Stomps & Crisp Snaps Build]
But puddles follow me everywhere I choose to go
(Split splat, split splat!)
I can hear the shadows of my past whispering low
Envying the power and the control that I have today
But I’m not wavering, I’m never looking back at the gray!
[Chorus: Explosive, Soaring Gothic Belt & Shouting Choir]
I’m stepping right out of the revolving doors!
It seems like the whole world is spinning, but I am Yours!
I confidently choose the path that’s been open all along!
Wiping off the salt, stepping forward, standing so strong!
The Lord has brought me to this point, I’m not that girl anymore!
I was lost, I was weak, but He’s unlocked the golden door!
[Verse 3: Deep, Intimate Testimony Flow]
I wasn't sure how long I lost my faith in the deep freeze
Shivering and trembling, down on my bended knees
But yet His holy angels have always been right beside my chest
Whispering encouraging words, giving my spirit a rest
At Calvary Hill, my Savior bore it all on the tree
So that I may be fully redeemed, so that I may be set free!
(He set me free, hallelujah!)
[Bridge: Spontaneous Worship & Intense Climax]
[(Speaking in tongues:] (Ka-ra-ba-sha-ta! Ho-san-na!)
[(Speaking in tongues:] (Sha-ma-ha-ra-ta! Break the prison!)
When one door opens, another one has to close!
I am standing in the light of the future my Father chose!
(Three, two, one — drop the baseline!)
[Chorus: Maximum Energy, Full Band, Screaming Brass & Choir]
I’m stepping right out of the revolving doors!
It seems like the whole world is spinning, but I am Yours!
I confidently choose the path that’s been open all along!
Wiping off the salt, stepping forward, standing so strong!
The Lord has brought me to this point, I’m not that girl anymore!
I was lost, I was weak, but He’s unlocked the golden door!
[Outro: Beats Slowly Fade to Soft Acoustic Picking & Rain Sounds]
Saltwater puddles.
Split splat.
The salt is gone.
No more prison.
Only the comfort of the rain.
My future is set before me.
My sanctuary is gold.
My babies are blessed.
(Mmm... thank You Jesus... amen)
[(Speaking in tongues softly:] (Sha-ma-ha-ra-ta... amen)
[Fade Out]
