I Am Breath

[Intro – close, almost spoken] (mmm… soft… close…) (breath in… out…) [Verse 1] I stand where the earth remembers I breathe where the silence knows Beneath my feet—bones of thunder In my chest—the river flows [Pre-Chorus – keep tight, no float] Ooh—ahh… ooh—ahh… (keep it low… no stretch…) [Chorus – grounded, not big] I am Selah—I am sound I speak, and stone remembers now Breath to dust, and dust to flame I mark this ground in holy name [Verse 2] What was sleeping now is waking What was bound is breaking free I do not ask—I am becoming What has always lived in me [Break – DO NOT let it go airy] Ah—oh… ah—oh… (short, controlled… no echo) [Chorus – same power, no lift in volume] I am Selah—I am breath I sing through life, I sing through death Stone bear witness—earth reply I was born to testify [Outro – fade inward, not outward] (mmm… close…) (breath… gone…)
