Lyrics
[Intro] [Golden Trumpet Fanfare & Hammond Organ]
Bakery ovens firing up on 125th Street
Listen to the morning rhythm beat!
[Verse 1] [Noah & Melody Alternating]
[Noah] Brownstone stoops catch the morning sun
[Melody] Another glorious new day has begun
[Noah] Fresh cornbread and coffee smell so sweet
[Melody] Welcoming the neighbors on the street
[Both] From the jazz club back to the morning calm
Holding the melody inside our palm
[Pre-Chorus] [Rising Hammond Organ & Brass Stabs]
Look at the city waking up in gold
The finest heritage that we will ever hold
[Chorus] [Colossal Grand Harlem Soul Finale Drop]
Golden trumpet serenade over the Harlem dawn
Every single sorrow is completely gone
From midnight jazz to the morning praise
We celebrate the beauty of our days
Sing out, shine on, let the music roar
We are victorious forevermore!
[Verse 2] [Duet Harmony & Pounding Drums]
[Melody] Church bells chiming on the avenue
[Noah] Everything is feeling fresh and new
[Both] We hold this soul inside our human frame
Singing together our triumphant name
[Bridge] [Full Gospel Choir & Big Band Brass Climax]
Hallelujah to the dawn! Hallelujah to the soul!
We are united, joyful, happy and whole!
From the Apollo theater to eternity
We reign in everlasting majesty!
[Chorus] [Maximum Power Big Band Climax]
Golden trumpet serenade over the Harlem dawn
Every single sorrow is completely gone
From midnight jazz to the morning praise
We celebrate the beauty of our days
Sing out, shine on, let the music roar
We are victorious forevermore!
[Outro] [Golden Trumpet Fanfare & Organ Chords Fading]
Harlem dawn serenade...
Soul in the machine!
[Fade Out]
[End]
