Jericho from Spring by Jenni

We call this track THE EPIC. It's kinda full-on. We love it, we hope you do too. We don't perform it live very often because it really needs more than one Richard on more than one guitar. And definitely a gospel choir. One day...!!! It's good to be ambitious. :-)

Seriously, this is a pretty emotional song, all about that fear of opening up and letting your walls down (hence the biblical metaphor), being brave enough to do that, wondering if you've met the person who will allow you to feel safe enough to do that...

Lyrics

VERSE 1
I noticed you...
From across a crowded room,
Like the old song
The old songs knew...
how to say what I can't explain,
When I struggle for the words

PRE-CHORUS
And I don't know...
if it's wonderful
I don't know...
Is it magical?
I don't know...
But I'm opening up again

CHORUS (these 3 lines x 2)
And the barriers will fall
As the drawbridge is lowered
And my walls crumble like Jericho

Like Jericho

VERSE 2
The trumpets sound
My defence is stripped away
And here I stand
Since you walked in...
...to my humble little world,
Or did I stumble into yours?

PRE-CHORUS
I don't know...
if it's wonderful
I don't know...
Is it magical?
I don't know...
But I'm opening up again

CHORUS
And the barriers will fall... (etc.)

BRIDGE
And I think that you could be
My Joshua
'Cause nothing's broken through
Till now
So if you agree,
Be my Joshua
Make my walls
Crash
Down!

CHORUS
And the barriers will fall... (etc.)

Like Jericho
Like Jericho
Like Jericho

And the barriers will fall... (etc.)
