Lyrics
[Intro – Piano & French Horn]
(Jon whispering over soft chords)
When the roof was gone, we thought we lost our house of praise.
But then we looked up…
and realized heaven had been waitin’ to move in.
🎶
La cathédrale bleue, sans mur ni porte,
Le vent y chante les prières fortes.
(The blue cathedral, without walls or doors,
the wind sings its strong prayers there.)
🎶
⸻
[Verse 1 – Sung Softly]
🎶
Sunlight painted stained-glass skies,
Clouds became our choir’s cries.
Pigeons on the rafters prayed,
Where once the organ played.
I heard my father’s laugh in the tide,
My mama’s hum on the breeze outside.
If love ain’t gone, then we ain’t lost —
The cross just changed its address.
🎶
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – French Hymnal Lift]
🎶
Dieu dans la lumière, pas dans la pierre,
God in the light, not in the stone.
Ton souffle est mon prière,
Your breath becomes my own.
🎶
⸻
[Chorus – Gospel Radiance]
🎶
Welcome to the Blue Cathedral,
Where the sky rings like a bell.
Every bird’s a note of freedom,
Every tear’s a miracle well.
Ô cathédrale bleue, je te vois,
Faith don’t need no roof to fly.
🎶
⸻
[Verse 2 – Spoken/Sung, Jon Batiste tone of wonder]
I walked through the aisles of the open air,
pews made of shadows, benedictions of light.
A child laughed — that was the sermon.
A trumpet echoed — that was communion.
If you listen real close,
grace sounds a lot like New Orleans.
⸻
[Bridge – Operatic Chorus and Trumpet Solo]
🎶
Les anges dansent sur les toits cassés,
The angels dance on broken roofs.
La joie descend, le ciel s’ouvre,
Joy descends, the sky opens.
🎶
(Trumpet solo rises like sunlight through clouds.)
⸻
[Final Chorus – Choir and Piano Glow]
🎶
This is our Blue Cathedral,
Our amen in the air.
Every soul a window open,
Every heartbeat a prayer.
La cathédrale bleue, je te crois,
You taught my heart to testify.
The world ain’t ended — it just begun,
Under the same eternal sun.
🎶
⸻
[Outro – Spoken / Solo Piano to Silence]
No walls.
No ceiling.
Just light and breath and music.
That’s church enough for me.
(Soft chime rings; wind fades out.)
