[Intro: Slow Grand Piano, Isochronic Tones, Deep Theta Binaural Beats]
(Mmm-mmm, yeah)
(Just silence and my thoughts... uh-huh)
(Sha-ba-ra-ta! Lord, I need a breakthrough)
(Ad-lib:) Ive kept it inside for way too long.
[Verse 1: Close-Mic, Breathy Neo-Soul Vocals]
There is so much pain in my heart, pain in my mind
Trying to leave the heavy shadows of the past behind
I have to let go, but it seems it doesn't fade
Living in this quiet mess that someone else has made
I can't sit alone without these thoughts in my head Madness is enveloping me, hanging by a thread Sounds reverberating around me, pulling at my soul
(Ad-lib:) I can't breathe... I need to speak!
[Pre-Chorus: Building Tension, Ticking Hi-Hats, Sub-Bass Swells]
I've been polite far too long, and Ie been cheated Why take advantage of a heart that was defeated? My thoughts of doubt whisper that nothing will change
(Nothing will change!)
But Im rearranging the pieces, breaking out of the cage!
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop, flip the frown!)
[Chorus: Explosive Belted Vocals, Heavy 808 Drop, Full Gospel Choir]
Im taking the action, I won't be pulled down! I get up, I wipe my face, and I look around! I look in the mirror, I see a confident woman!
(A confident woman! Yeah!)
And it's time for me to speak up, share my wisdom!
(Share it out loud!)
Sarah's not silent anymore! Salvation is near, stepping through the door!
[Post-Chorus: Catchy Repeating Scat & Tongues Hook]
(Speaking in tongues: Ka-ra-ba-sha-ta! Ho-san-na!)
(Ski-bi-di-bop, let the silence drop!)
(Let it drop, let it drop, yeah!)
(Uh, um, never gonna stop!)
[Verse 2: Gritty R&B Groove, Rhythmic Claps]
I want people to finally listen to what's deep in my soul No more being a follower, Im taking control I want silence and awe to greet me when I arrive
I survived the deep waters, Im keeping my hope alive
I have to believe, I have to make promises today That tomorrow will be better, the pain will wash away I've never treated you wrong, but I paid the price
Now Im stepping into the light, taking my own advice!
[Pre-Chorus: Building Tension, Ticking Hi-Hats, Sub-Bass Swells]
I've been polite far too long, and Ie been cheated Why take advantage of a heart that was defeated? My thoughts of doubt whisper that nothing will change
(Nothing will change!)
But Im rearranging the pieces, breaking out of the cage!
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop, flip the frown!)
[Chorus: Explosive Belted Vocals, Heavy 808 Drop, Full Gospel Choir]
Im taking the action, I won't be pulled down! I get up, I wipe my face, and I look around! I look in the mirror, I see a confident woman!
(A confident woman! Yeah!)
And it's time for me to speak up, share my wisdom!
(Share it out loud!)
Sarah's not silent anymore! Salvation is near, stepping through the door!
[Bridge: Acapella to Massive Cinematic Build]
(Stomp, stomp, clap!)
The moments that I'm silent, I'm talking to My Father
(Stomp, stomp, clap!)
I'm contemplating peace, I won't even bother
(With the noise!)
(Speaking in tongues: He-li-os! Ma-ra-na-tha!)
Let the pain subside! Let the spirit ride! I think it's my time to lead, I got nothing to hide!
[Chorus: Maximum Energy, Soaring Vocal Runs]
Im taking the action, I won't be pulled down! I get up, I wipe my face, and I look around! I look in the mirror, I see a confident woman!
(A confident woman! Yeah!)
And it's time for me to speak up, share my wisdom!
(Share it out loud!)
Sarah's not silent anymore! Salvation is near, stepping through the door!
[Outro: Smooth Fade, Rhodes Piano, Gospel Hum]
I look at everything with gratitude...
(Mmm-hmm, thank you Lord)
Salvation is near. Sarah's not silent anymore.
(Speaking in tongues: Sha-ma-ha...)
The pain will subside.
