Let It Gold (Version 2)

Intro

Sun's coming up over the crowd

Verse 1 – soft and hushed

Sneakers off on the tile floor

Cups still full by the door

Nobody checks their phone now

We've been dancing since we know how

Pre-Chorus

Feet don't want to leave this heat

Lungs forget they need to breathe

Chorus – soaring, unison chant with layered harmonies

Let it gold, let it shine

Nothing here needs the dark tonight

Gold on every face I see

This is where we meant to be

Verse 2

Someone's laughter spills outside

Streetlights dim and die in time

Shirts gone soft from the heat of all

Every heartbeat skipping a wall

Pre-Chorus

Feet don't want to leave this glow

Nobody's ready for it to go

Chorus – building, more reverb, more harmony layers

Let it gold, let it shine

Nothing here needs the dark tonight

Gold on every face I see

This is where we meant to be

Bridge – sparse piano, gentle strummed chord progression, only light breathy ad-libs, no drums

Hold this hour before it fades

Every shadow turns into shade

Chorus – full arrangement, huge reverb swell, powerful belt and layered harmonies

Let it gold, let it shine

Nothing here needs the dark tonight

Gold on every face I see

This is where we meant to be

Outro

Sun's still low but we're awake now

Let it gold, let it glow
