Wisdom of the Wind — Selah Sound Collective (Solomon's Vanity)

Verse 1 Wisdom of Wind A whisper on the wind, a kingdom in my hand The weight of seven seas, the wisdom of the sand Each riddle solved, each treasure known, a tapestry of might A throne of ivory, bathed in golden light They came from dust and distant shores, to hear the words I’d speak Believing in the answers that a mortal tongue could seek

Pre-Chorus Building slightly, drums enter softly, reverb-heavy) And for a time, the world felt like a song I understood Every note in harmony, every stone a precious good My heart, a listening chamber, for the secrets whispered low But even oceans deep can’t fill the space where spirits grow

Chorus Powerful, harmonized, full band swells, shimmering textures, dynamic crescendo. This is the most memorable part.) Beyond the shimmer, past the gleam, a truth begins to rise More than the power, more than the dream, reflected in our eyes This fleeting wonder, rich and vast, a shadow and a sign The echo of a love that lasts, a truly grand design!

Verse 2 Vocals still powerful but with a touch of introspection, piano prominent) I walked through gardens, gold-paved ways, with pleasure as my guide Drank deep from every fleeting joy, with nothing left to hide The laughter of a thousand feasts, the sparkle of the vine Yet in the quiet after, a different hunger, mine. For every tower built so tall, and every gem so bright Could never match the simple grace of dawn dispelling night.

Pre-Chorus Building again, layered harmonies start to weave in) And in that chase, the world felt like a race I couldn't win Collecting moments, fleeting fast, where does the soul begin? My heart, a restless wanderer, through all that glitters bold Searching for a story that could never quite be told... by gold.

Chorus Even more powerful, soaring vocals, full singalong moment, drums driving) Beyond the shimmer, past the gleam, a truth begins to rise More than the power, more than the dream, reflected in our eyes This fleeting wonder, rich and vast, a shadow and a sign The echo of a love that lasts, a truly grand design!

Bridge Dynamics pull back slightly, then swell massively. Ambient guitars, then drums re-enter with force. Layered, ethereal vocals before a powerful lead vocal pushes through.) Like chasing wind, these earthly crowns, they fade like fading stars But in the broken, open ground, is where the healing starts. A whisper turns into a roar, a flicker to a flame, The richest treasure to explore is calling out your name! Not in the castles built on sand, but in the heart that’s free, To reach for an eternal hand, for all eternity!

Chorus Fullest and most anthemic, everyone singing, ad-libs, massive reverb) Beyond the shimmer, past the gleam, a truth begins to rise More than the power, more than the dream, reflected in our eyes This fleeting wonder, rich and vast, a shadow and a sign The echo of a love that lasts, a truly grand design!

Outro Fades out slowly with shimmering piano arpeggios, ambient guitar swells, lingering vocal harmonies ("a grand design... echoes in eternity... more than gold..."). Drums become spacious and fade.) A grand design... Echoes... in eternity... More than gold... It’s more than gold...
