PROVIDENCE by S.O.S. for CHRIST

SONG TITLE: PROVIDENCE
CREATOR: S.O.S. for CHRSIT, REFISSION | AI MUSIC GENERATOR, and CLIPCHAMP VIDEO IMAGES.

PURPOSE: Growing up in Providence, Rhode Island, the smallest state in the United States of America, I wanted to create a beautiful song capturing what I remembered of the beauty and history of the title: PROVIDENCE. This song focused on the following historical data presented by goprovidence.com: Providence was founded in 1636 by renegade preacher Roger Williams, who was forced to flee Massachusetts because of religious persecution. Williams purchased land from the Narragansett Indians and started a new settlement with a policy of religious and political freedom. He named his new home "Providence," in thanks to God for protecting him during his exile from Massachusetts. Easily accessible by water, Providence became a major New World seaport. Providence offers a world-renowned WaterFire, a multisensory art installation of nearly 100 dancing bonfires that wind along the Providence River. Providence also boasts a flourishing cultural and academic community. The Tony Award-winning Trinity Rep and the Providence Performing Arts Center are not only historic landmarks, but also feature Broadway musicals, children's performances, popular seasonal ballets, opera, plays and musical concerts. Students and alumni of Brown University, Providence College and Rhode Island College bring vitality to the city's intellectual life. The famous Rhode Island School of Design lends the city a hipster cool, with many young artists coming to study and staying to begin their careers. The world's largest culinary educator, Johnson & Wales University, has had a tremendous impact on Providence's much-lauded restaurant scene. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
Intro:
Soft orchestral strings, building slowly

Verse 1:
I wandered far from home
Through storms I couldn't name
The weight of exile pressed
Upon my weary frame
But something held me close
(Something held me close)

Pre-chorus:
When the world turned its back
And the path disappeared

Chorus:
Providence, Providence
Carried me through the darkest night
Providence, Providence
Turned my wandering into light
Every step was guided
Every breath provided
Providence, Providence
You never let me fall

Post-chorus:
(Never let me fall)
(Never let me fall)

Verse 2:
I built upon this ground
With hands that shook with fear
But waters brought me hope
And made my purpose clear
The harbor called my name
(The harbor called my name)

Pre-chorus:
When the storms came to test
All I dared to believe

Chorus:
Providence, Providence
Carried me through the darkest night
Providence, Providence
Turned my wandering into light
Every step was guided
Every breath provided
Providence, Providence
You never let me fall

Post-chorus:
(Never let me fall)
(Never let me fall)

Bridge:
Orchestral swell, key change
When the winds tried to break me
One hundred miles of rage
When the waters rose to take me
I found strength upon this stage
Not by chance, not by my will
But by grace that holds me still

Solo:
Orchestral crescendo with vocal harmonies

Providence, Providence
(You never let me fall)
Providence, Providence
(Through it all)

Final Chorus:
Providence, Providence
Carried me through the darkest night
Providence, Providence
Turned my wandering into light
Every step was guided
Every breath provided
Providence, Providence
You never let me fall
Providence, Providence
You never let me fall
Providence, Providence
You never let me fall

Outro:
Strings fade with final whispered
(Providence...)
(Never let me fall...)
PROVIDENCE
PROVIDENCE

Pax et Bonum,
