Anchor in the Wind

[Silence]
[Instrumental, Guitar, Electric Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]

[Intro]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Weather…
(Or whether?)
[Instrumental – Organ Swell, Steady Bass Pulse]

[Verse 1]
From the East
(To the West)
Put to the test
(We second-guessed)
Chasin’ breeze
(Bent and bowed)
Lost at sea
(In the crowd)

[Bridge]
[Electric Piano Arpeggio, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
No more feather
(Drift forever)
Stormy weather
(We stand together)
[Organ Swell, Snare Build]

[Chorus]
Plant your feet
(On solid ground)
Hear the beat
(A steady sound)
Any way the wind blows
(We won’t go)
Round and round

[Instrumental – Guitar Lead, Sax Response, Driving Bass]

[Verse 2]
From the North
(To the South)
Less of the talk
(More than mouth)
Draw a line
(Claim your claim)
Spine to spine
(Name your name)

[Bridge]
[Minimal Beat, Spoken Vocal]
Weather shifts
(That’s the game)
Whether we drift
(Or take aim)
[Organ Stabs, Rising Synth]

[Chorus]
Plant your feet
(On solid ground)
Find the truth
(In what you’ve found)
Any way the wind blows
(We still know)
What we’re about

[Breakdown]
[Sub Bass, Electric Piano Solo]
Not a feather
(Not today)
Bound together
(Find our way)

[Instrumental – Extended Jam, Organ Solo, Percussion Build]

[Outro]
The moral of the story:
(Not wayward)
Becomes our history
(Forward, upward)
Through whatever weather
(Strong as ever)
