[Intro]
(The sound of a lone harp playing a minor scale. High-pitched violin notes hang in the air like mist. Very cold and atmospheric.)
[Verse 1]
(Vocals: Airy, light, and "breath-heavy." Each word trails off like smoke.)
The tear that has no name...
Holds more power than a heated flame.
It reveals what hides within...
My darkest fears... and all my sin.
(Music: A soft piano melody enters, mimicking the "tumble" of a tear.)
One single, nameless tear I cry...
Holds more power than a million dry.
It shows the truth that I hold deep,
The darkest fears my eyes now keep.
[Pre-Chorus]
(Music: The harp stops. A heavy orchestral "thud" hits on every second beat. Strings begin to swirl faster and faster.)
One single tear of grace... that tumbles down my face.
Comes to rest upon the earth...
On behalf of a soul... with no name.
(Vocals: The voice becomes "straight" and sharp—no more whispering.)
STILL! With all and all... NAMELESS!
This single tear like a flame! VIGOROUSLY!! ### [Chorus]
(Music: A massive wave of sound—drums, high-pitched violins, and a deep synth bass. It feels like a storm breaking.)
THAT ONE TEAR HITS THE EARTH!
A low rumble of power... a new birth!
WHICH ONE ARE YOU?
Made of might... or made of a fool?
(Vocals: Reaching for high, powerful head-notes)
One fearless seeping tear?
Or millions of tears that hide away...
WHICH ONE HOLDS ALL THE POWER HERE?
[Verse 2]
(Music: Music thins out to just a heartbeat drum and a high-pitched violin "shimmer.")
The tear tumbles softly... and hits the ground.
A whisper so quiet... yet a fierce sound!
It holds all the weight of my truth, and preciously, of my fate!
(Vocals: Very melodic and "operatic" in strength)
Self-explanatory... a lesson so clear.
This is who I am... not who I was last year.
[Bridge]
(Music: Choral voices join in behind her, singing a haunting "Ahhh" melody.)
I am who I am!
And never! Will I be ever! Labeled... a fool!
This single tear is my only rule.
It's a testament to strength... a silent plea!
A POWERFUL TEAR... THAT WILL FOREVER BE A PART OF ME!
[Outro]
(Music: All instruments cut out except for the harp from the intro. The "fire" is gone, leaving only "grace.")
I am... who I am...
And never again... will I ever...
Be labeled a fool.
(Vocals: A final, high, sustained note that fades into a whisper.)
(Final strum of the harp... silence.)
