Alphabetical

[Instrumental Intro: Playful Marimba, Light Funk Guitar, Bouncy Bass, Snappy Drums]

[Verse 1]
Letters scattered on the floor
Spilling out from every drawer
Meaning hiding in disguise
Right before our very eyes

Every word we try to say
Finds a different kind of way
Alphabet in disarray
Till it learns to move and play

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s a code we all can read
Planting every thought and seed
Simple marks that come alive
Helping everything survive

[Refrain]
Starting to see
A to Z
(And a 2, B, to be)
Naturally

Start (from the heart)
And in the end
(The message you send)
Lives eternally

[Instrumental Break: Clavinet Groove, Whistling Melody]

[Verse 2]
Every sentence builds a road
Carrying a heavy load
From confusion into light
Turning wrongs into right

Vowels stretch and consonants bend
Till they find a way to blend
Every phrase a new design
Drawn in rhythm, line by line

[Pre-Chorus]
Even silence has a tone
When it’s written, it’s not alone
Every symbol has a role
In the language of the soul

[Refrain]
Starting to see
A to Z
(And a 2, B, to be)
Naturally

Start (from the heart)
And in the end
(The message you send)
Lives eternally

[Bridge]
Every alphabetic trace
Finds its rhythm, finds its place
Not just letters in a row
But a way for truth to grow

From beginning to the last
Every future and the past
Written in a single line
Simple, yet divine

[Breakdown: Minimal Beat, Spoken Rhythm]
A… B… C…
What will it be?
Words become reality…

[Final Refrain]
Starting to see
A to Z
(And a 2, B, to be)
Naturally

Start (from the heart)
And in the end
(The message you send)
Lives eternally

A… Z…
It’s all we need…
A… Z…
Plant the seed…

[Bridge to jam]
Start… from the heart…
Lives eternally…
(Set your love free)
Free, free, free

[Jam Hypnotic Groove]
[Layered congas, shakers, bongos, tambourine loops]
[Deep bass drone locking into a circular riff]
[Reverb-heavy electric guitar repeats a 3-note motif]
[Organ swells breathe in and out like a tide]

[Groove Establishes]
Everything becomes circular—no beginning, no end

[Full Jam Climax]
[Sudden Drop]

(Set your love free)
Free, free, free
