What matters-is free.(автор текста Амалия Вард)

[Intro: solo piano, soft organ pad. No vocals. 4 bars.] [Verse 1: male lead vocal, close mic, intimate. Piano and light bass only.] Bills pile up on the table Phone keeps talking in numbers Reminding me of debts I'm in But I'm breathing in a blessing Silent miracle filling my lungs Sunlight pours without asking [Chorus 1: lead vocal + gospel choir backing harmonies, ad-libs. Full band, strings swell, soft drums.] Everything that saves me is free Oxygen in my chest Warmth of the sun on my skin And your voice on my heartbeat [Verse 2: lead vocal only, beat drops slightly, piano and organ.] The sun never sends an invoice For painting gold across my blinds Rain doesn't charge for the thunder Or washing worry from my mind Your hand touches mine, your lips on my neck No contract, no fine print to read You laugh and I swear that's all I need [Chorus 2: lead vocal + full gospel choir, ad-libs, strings wider, drums fuller.] Everything that saves me is free Oxygen in my chest Warmth of the sun on my skin And your voice on my heartbeat [Bridge: breakdown – lead vocal and piano only, intimate. Choir hums softly in background. Then drums and strings gradually rebuild.] They can price out all my days Turn my time into receipts But I'll still have breath and a sky And your voice, your hands, your steady - Your name on my lips as you're holding me [Chorus 3: final, full power. Lead vocal belts, gospel choir in full harmony, organ, strings, drums. Ad-libs and call-and-response.] Everything that saves me is free Oxygen in my chest Warmth of the sun on my skin And your voice on my heartbeat Everything that keeps me here - Everything that saves me is free. [Outro: music fades, choir hums one final chord, lead vocal whispers last line.] Everything that saves me is free... [Fade out. Silence.]
