Lyrics
[Style: Driving Chicago Blues Shuffle] [Intro] (Fast, energetic guitar riff - Not sad, but urgent) (Harmonica blasts like a train whistle) (Drums kick in hard) (Spoken with grit) "One door closes... another one flies off the hinges." "Watch this." [Verse 1] (Vocals: Punchy, rhythmic) You hung up the hat after seventeen years Walked out the door amidst the smoke and the tears The paper says "Retired," yeah, that’s what they say But you and I know you can’t live that way. The well looks dry and the cupboard feels light And you’re wondering how you gonna make it through the night. But don't let the fear start talking to your soul You ain't lost the driver, you just lost the control! [Chorus] (Full Band - Loud and Bright) I said look up, brother, take a look at the hills! God’s got a plan that pays all the bills! The enemy thinks he’s got you cornered and tight But the Chariots are burning in the middle of the night! It ain't over, man, the engine is humming I’m telling you now, there’s a Better Day coming! (Yeah, a Better Day coming!) [Verse 2] (Bass walking heavy) Can't count the years since we started this walk We’ve done a lot of praying and a lot of talk I’ve seen you down, but I’ve seen you rise Now I’m praying for the Lord to open up your eyes! Like the servant who was shaking at the size of the threat He didn't see the army that hadn't happened yet! The mountain is full of the fire and the horse God is steering you onto a brand new course! [Bridge] (Stop time - punchy accents) The job is gone... (Guitar stab) But the Provider is here! (Guitar stab) You ain't gotta worry... (Guitar stab) You ain't gotta fear! (Harmonica Solo - Fast and frantic, sounding like a busy signal turning into a celebration) [Verse 3] (Building back up with intensity) You need a new open door? He’s got the key. You need a river flowing? He’s got the sea. This wasn't an accident, this wasn't a mistake This is just the setup for the move He’s gonna make! So polish up your boots and get ready to ride You’ve got the Armies of Heaven on the passenger side! [Chorus] (Maximum Volume) I said look up, brother, take a look at the hills! God’s got a plan that pays all the bills! The enemy thinks he’s got you cornered and tight But the Chariots are burning in the middle of the night! It ain't over, man, the engine is humming I’m telling you now, there’s a Better Day coming! Yeah, the Chariots are here! [Outro] (Guitar and Harmonica trading joyful licks) (Vocals: Ad-libbing) He didn't bring you this far to leave you! Provision is moving! The new work is coming! Keep your eyes on the fire, Dan! Better day! Better day! (Final Big Rock Ending) [End]
