(Soft choir with light piano and guitar strumming intro)
(Verse 1: Soloist & Choir Response)
The path is long, but we are strong,
With every step, we move along.
Through storm and shadow, wind and rain,
We rise again, we break the chain.
(Choir harmonizes as folk instruments—guitar, banjo—softly join in)
(Chorus: Full Choir)
Hold on to the sky, don’t look down,
We’ll find the light, where grace is found.
Up the mountain, we will climb,
To the stars, to the dawn, beyond all time.
(Big band instruments begin to swell softly behind the choir)
(Verse 2: Soloist & Choir Harmonies)
The rain may fall, the night may cry,
But we see hope in every sky.
With every breath, we reach for more,
A shining path to heaven’s door.
(Choir swells with the richness of folk and country elements, supported by strings and brass)
(Chorus: Full Choir & Big Band)
Hold on to the sky, don’t look down,
We’ll find the light, where grace is found.
Up the mountain, we will climb,
To the stars, to the dawn, beyond all time.
(Bridge: Choir hums softly, banjo and piano building a soft rhythm)
(Bridge: Soloist & Choir)
Through every trial, we rise and stand,
With love and faith, we hold His hand.
The light will guide, the way is clear,
Together now, we have no fear.
(Final Chorus: Full Choir, Big Band, Folk-Country elements rise to a powerful ending)
(Final Chorus: Full Choir)
Hold on to the sky, don’t let go,
In the light, our hearts will glow.
Up the mountain, we will climb,
To the stars, to the dawn, beyond all time.
(Outro: Choir fades gently with light guitar and piano, echoing the final lines)
