House of David

[Intro]
Stone in a sling
Dust in my teeth
Name in the wind
Song on the breeze
[Verse 1]
Shepherd boy shoulders the dawn
Five smooth stones and a borrowed sword
Leather strap crossing his palm
Heart beating louder than the horde
Lines of iron
Shields like a wall
Brothers’ eyes saying “turn back”
Still he walks into the call
Carrying only what they lack
[Chorus]
House of David
Built on a song
Not on the height of a man made strong
Just one stone through a giant’s pride
Just one name that will not divide
House of David
Out of the dust
Raised on courage
Raised on trust
Where the smallest stand and the loud fall silent
In Jerusalem light
A boy fells a giant
[Verse 2]
Goliath laughs
Armor like night
Voice like thunder over dry ground
“Send me a man
Send me a fight”
Crowds lean in
Don’t make a sound
But the boy lifts up his eyes
“Not by blade
I’m not that tall”
“By the name that splits the skies”
He starts to run
That’s all
[Chorus]
House of David
Built on a song
Not on the height of a man made strong
Just one stone through a giant’s pride
Just one name that will not divide
House of David
Out of the dust
Raised on courage
Raised on trust
Where the smallest stand and the loud fall silent
In Jerusalem light
A boy fells a giant
[Bridge]
[Drums rise
Harp answering like a call across hills]
Fall
Great shadow
Fall to the field
Fall to the echo
Of a heart that would not yield
From pasture to palace
From slings to a crown
But the harp keeps the balance
So he kneels when he bows down (oh-oh)
[Chorus]
House of David
Built on a song
Not on the height of a man made strong
Just one stone through a giant’s pride
Just one name that will not divide
House of David
Out of the dust
Raised on courage
Raised on trust
Where the smallest stand and the loud fall silent
In Jerusalem light
A boy fells a giant
[Outro]
Harp on the hill
Wind in the gate
House of David stands there still
On the day the small faced fate

Epic folk-orchestral with male vocals: frame drum pulse, layered hand percussion, low war horns. Verses carried by oud and dulcimer textures, chorus explodes with choirs, hammered strings, and powerful toms. Harp motifs weave throughout as a sacred theme, building from intimate storytelling to a triumphant, battle-won finale., harp
