Wisdom of the Wind — Selah Sound Collective (Solomon's Vanity)

Lyrics Wisdom of Wind A whisper on the wind, a kingdom in my hand The weight of seven seas, the wisdom of the sand Each riddle solved, each treasure known, a tapestry of might A throne of ivory, bathed in golden light They came from dust and distant shores, to hear the words I’d speak Believing in the answers that a mortal tongue could seek Building slightly, drums enter softly, reverb-heavy) And for a time, the world felt like a song I understood Every note in harmony, every stone a precious good My heart, a listening chamber, for the secrets whispered low But even oceans deep can’t fill the space where spirits grow Beyond the shimmer, past the gleam, a truth begins to rise More than the power, more than the dream, reflected in our eyes This fleeting wonder, rich and vast, a shadow and a sign The echo of a love that lasts, a truly grand design! I walked through gardens, gold-paved ways, with pleasure as my guide Drank deep from every fleeting joy, with nothing left to hide The laughter of a thousand feasts, the sparkle of the vine Yet in the quiet after, a different hunger, mine. For every tower built so tall, and every gem so bright Could never match the simple grace of dawn dispelling night. Building again, layered harmonies start to weave in) And in that chase, the world felt like a race I couldn't win Collecting moments, fleeting fast, where does the soul begin? My heart, a restless wanderer, through all that glitters bold Searching for a story that could never quite be told... by gold. Beyond the shimmer, past the gleam, a truth begins to rise More than the power, more than the dream, reflected in our eyes This fleeting wonder, rich and vast, a shadow and a sign The echo of a love that lasts, a truly grand design! Like chasing wind, these earthly crowns, they fade like fading stars But in the broken, open ground, is where the healing starts. A whisper turns into a roar, a flicker to a flame, The richest treasure to explore is calling out your name! Not in the castles built on sand, but in the heart that’s free, To reach for an eternal hand, for all eternity! Fullest and most anthemic, everyone singing, ad-libs, massive reverb) Beyond the shimmer, past the gleam, a truth begins to rise More than the power, more than the dream, reflected in our eyes This fleeting wonder, rich and vast, a shadow and a sign The echo of a love that lasts, a truly grand design! A grand design... Echoes... in eternity... More than gold... It’s more than gold...
