Paper & Piano (First Light)

[Intro]
[Verse]
Midnight train is running late
Heavy keys and heavy fate
City lights are turning grey
Wishing I could drift away
Months of silence in my head
Words I never should have said
Walking past the corner store
I can't take it anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Then I heard a muffled beat
Vibrating beneath my feet
Old brick walls began to shake
Something in me started to wake
I followed the rhythm down
Deep beneath this lonely town
[Chorus]
Oh, let the light spill in
Underneath my skin
Feel the tension melt away
We don't need the day
Dancing on the dusty floor
I don't feel lonely anymore
Oh, it's a sweet release
Finally I've found my peace
[Post-Chorus]
(Yeah, I feel it!)
Moving to the piano soul
Finally I'm losing control
(Lose control, baby!)
(Higher, higher!)
[Verse]
Shelves of stories all around
Lost within this holy sound
Saw your grin across the room
Breaking through the winter gloom
Locking eyes across the space
Finding mercy in your face
Dust is dancing in the air
Like a silent, sudden prayer
[Pre-Chorus]
No more hiding in the dark
Waiting for a single spark
Now the organ starts to swell
Ring it like a Sunday bell
I can feel the spirit move
Caught inside this heavy groove
[Chorus]
Oh, let the light spill in
Underneath my skin
Feel the tension melt away
We don't need the day
Dancing on the dusty floor
I don't feel lonely anymore
Oh, it's a sweet release
Finally I've found my peace
[Build-up]
Can you feel the rhythm rise?
Look into my open eyes
Higher, higher, take me there
Lifting spirits through the air
I'm ready now
Yeah, I'm ready now
(Gospel ad-lib: Oh, I'm ready!)
[Drop]
(Piano chords strike hard)
(Sub-bass bounces)
(Diva ad-libs: "Free! I'm free! I'm free!")
[Bridge]
It’s a revelation
Sweet sensation
Found a new salvation
In this station
Brick and mortar, heart and soul
Now I’m finally feeling whole
No more heavy nights alone
I have found a place called home
[Chorus]
Oh, let the light spill in
Underneath my skin
Feel the tension melt away
We don't need the day
Dancing on the dusty floor
I don't feel lonely anymore
Oh, it's a sweet release
Finally I've found my peace
[Post-Chorus]
(Take me higher!)
Moving to the piano soul
Finally I'm losing control
(Yeah, yeah, yeah!)
(I feel so good!)
(Don't let me down!)
[Outro]
