“On a Crescendo” Lyrics
Written by David Michael Bennett
FBefore long
They will build a city aClong
all the sky and anchor Dmit tight
to this rock so we can sBbail right out of here
FFaux nights
fade right into our Cexistence
as we travel up the Dmtethers
start to float a little Bbas we reach our end
F C Dm Bb
The Fsky bleeds
we mend it near the constelClations
the dying giants feel their fDmears
slowly get built aBbway today
FAll us
in our own kCnown lives
Now have a chance to Dmshine bright
and we will all be dBbancing in that light
FDancing in that light
CDancing in that light
DmDancing in that Bblight
On a creFscendoC  
making the bDmest of it aBbll
On a creFscendoC  
now we can fDmly and not fBball
FmAll overnight
Cmwe could lose sight
But Dmwe have heard our screams
And Bbmwoe isn't happening
FmDarker days may have been
Cma little more hectic back then
DmBut we now have the tools
Bbmand our sorrows melt to pools
F C Dm Bb
On a creFscendoC  
making the bDmest of it aBbll
On a creFscendoC  
now we can fDmly and not fBball
On a creFscendoC  
making the bDmest of it aBbll
On a creFscendoC  
now we can fDmly and not fBballF

“On a Crescendo” Lyrics

Written by David Michael Bennett

Before long

They will build a city along

all the sky and anchor it tight

to this rock so we can sail right out of here

Faux nights

fade right into our existence

as we travel up the tethers

start to float a little as we reach our end

F C Dm Bb

The sky bleeds

we mend it near the constellations

the dying giants feel their fears

slowly get built away today

All us

in our own known lives

Now have a chance to shine bright

and we will all be dancing in that light

Dancing in that light

Dm Bb

Dancing in that light

F C

On a crescendo

Dm Bb

making the best of it all

F C

On a crescendo

Dm Bb

now we can fly and not fall

All overnight

we could lose sight

But we have heard our screams

Bbm

And woe isn't happening

Darker days may have been

a little more hectic back then

But we now have the tools

Bbm

and our sorrows melt to pools

F C Dm Bb

F C

On a crescendo

Dm Bb

making the best of it all

F C

On a crescendo

Dm Bb

now we can fly and not fall

F C

On a crescendo

Dm Bb

making the best of it all

F C

On a crescendo

Dm Bb F

now we can fly and not fall
