LET THE PRAISES FLY Style: Indie Rock • 105 BPM • G Major • Male Tenor • Anthemic Christian Rock [Intro — Clean Electric Guitar, Eighth-Note Groove] Hey... hey... Oh-oh-oh... Turn it up... [Verse 1] Sun coming up on a two-lane road, Coffee in the cup and a heavy old soul, Dust on the tires, sky turning gold, Got a thousand reasons that I can't keep closed. I tried to keep it quiet, Tried to keep it inside, But when I think about where You brought me from, Something starts burning like a rising sun. So I don't need a steeple, I don't need four walls, When Your mercy starts moving, I can feel it through it all. [Pre-Chorus — Guitar Builds] From the back roads to the main street, From the fields to the interstate, If You've been good to me, I've got something to say! [Chorus — HUGE ANTHEMIC] Roll the windows down, let the praises fly, We're sending up a roar to the morning sky! From the county line to the city park, Your goodness is a light cutting through the dark! I can't keep it quiet, I can't hold it back, Your love keeps running Like a river through the cracks! Roll the windows down, let the whole world know, You've been faithful everywhere I go! Oh-oh-oh! LET THE PRAISES FLY! [Post-Chorus — Layered Vocals] Let 'em fly! Let 'em fly! HEY! Let 'em fly! Let 'em fly! [Verse 2] I've seen Your hand in the hardest days, Found Your peace when I couldn't find a way, Heard hope knocking when the night got long, Felt You give me a reason to keep moving on. Now every mile marker Feels like a testimony, Every scar I've carried Has become part of my story. So if anybody asks me Why I'm singing this loud, I'll tell 'em I've got too much gratitude To keep it underground. [Pre-Chorus — Bigger] From the back roads to the main street, From the fields to the interstate, If You've been good to me, I've got something to say! [Chorus — Bigger] Roll the windows down, let the praises fly, We're sending up a roar to the morning sky! From the county line to the city park, Your goodness is a light cutting through the dark! I can't keep it quiet, I can't hold it back, Your love keeps running Like a river through the cracks! Roll the windows down, let the whole world know, You've been faithful everywhere I go! Oh-oh-oh! LET THE PRAISES FLY! [Instrumental Break — Lead Guitar] Oh-oh-oh-oh! Hey! Clean guitar melody climbs over driving bass and drums. [Bridge — Pull Back] I don't care if I'm driving Through a town I've never seen, I'll sing it on a dirt road, I'll sing it in the street. I don't care who's listening, I don't care who's passing by, I've got a heart full of gratitude And a reason to testify. SOFT BACKGROUND: You've been good...
