Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] (Beat kicks in: classic one-drop reggae rhythm. Heavy bass. Scratchy guitar on the off-beat.) (Vocal Fry): Low, gravelly tone... "Yeah... listen close now. Life is a mirror. What you give... is what you get." (Unison): All voices together, strong and clear: "Rise up, young lions. Change the mind, change the world." [Verse 1] (Bass and drums only) He sat by the tracks with a hand held out wide, [00:48] Waiting for pity with nothing inside. A man in a suit asked a question so cold, "What do you offer for the silver and gold?" [01:26] (Parallel Doubling): High harmony following the melody exactly: The beggar was shaken, he had no reply, But a seed had been planted, look him in the eye. [Pre-Chorus] (Octave Doubling): Deep bass voice and high tenor singing the same line: You can’t just take, you’ve got to plant a seed, To harvest the greatness, to conquer the need. (Phrased Unison): Rhythmic, punchy delivery: Stop. Think. Look around you now. The power is in you, let me show you how. [07:02] [Chorus] (Vocal Chorus - Choir Style): Full, rich sound, multi-layered. [Duet Starts]: A male and female voice lead the melody: Change your mindset, let your life take flight, From the shadows of the station to the morning light. (Homophony): All voices moving in the same rhythm with different notes: You’re not a beggar, you’re a king in disguise, Open up your heart and open up your eyes! [06:36] (Open Harmony): Wide intervals, airy and grand: The world is waiting for the gift you bring, Rise up, youth, and let your spirit sing! [Verse 2] (Guitar skank intensifies) He found the wild flowers growing by the rail, [03:13] A simple exchange so his spirit wouldn't fail. A coin for a petal, a smile for a bloom, The scent of his purpose chased away the gloom. [03:41] (Close Harmony): Tight, three-part gospel-style backing: He wasn’t just asking, he was trading his soul, Turning his fragments back into a whole. [Bridge] (Music strips back to just a percussion "nyabinghi" beat) (Belting): Powerful, high-energy vocal: DON'T UNDERESTIMATE YOUR POTENTIAL! [06:53] GOD GAVE YOU TALENTS, MAKE THEM RELEVANT! (Vocal Fry into a growl): "Move on... leave the station behind." (Unison): "The tracks lead forward, don't look back." [Chorus] (Vocal Chorus - Choir Style): [Duet]: Change your mindset, let your life take flight, From the shadows of the station to the morning light. (Homophony): You’re not a beggar, you’re a king in disguise, Open up your heart and open up your eyes! (Open Harmony): The world is waiting for the gift you bring, Rise up, youth, and let your spirit sing! [Outro] (Octave Doubling): Six months later, he’s a brand new man, [05:30] Walking with a vision, part of the plan. (Phrased Unison): From the gutter to the flower trade, Look at the progress that the mind has made. (Unison): Never give up. (Parallel Doubling): Never give up. (Vocal Fry - fading out): "Change your thoughts... change your world..." [07:02] (Final heavy bass pluck and ech
