[ the spotlights scatter across the stage frantically for a moment before coming to rest on the center, where rafael sits, perched on a stool, mic in his hand. he certainly doesn't look put upon for being there, and what's more, he has a few simple words to say before the music begins, a humbleness to his demeanor as he recounts: ]
I wrote this song over the course of these last few months, for someone who was waiting for me.
What she does not know, perhaps, is what I have waited to tell her, all this time.
with that, a sweet guitar starts up, the band already clearly familiar with the song, indicating that they received this music long enough ago to practice it - perfect it, even.
rafael lowers his head, listening with his eyes closed, lost in it until he launches into a low, throaty verse, every note flawless as he clearly pours his heart into each of them (perform 36). ]
I have been blind, unwilling to see The true love you're giving. I have ignored every blessing. I'm on my knees confessing
That I feel myself surrender Each time I see your face. I am staggered by your beauty, Your unassuming grace. And I feel my heart is turning, Falling into place. I can't hide it Now hear my confession.
[ he rises to his feet, moving forward to the lip of the stage, lifting the mic as the song rises in intensity ]
I have been wrong about you. Thought I was strong without you. For so long nothing could move me. For so long nothing could change me. Now I feel myself surrender Each time I see your face.
[ his eyes sweep across the darkness of the audience, a smile creeping up his face as he sings: ]
I am captured by your beauty, Your unassuming grace. And I feel my heart is turning, Falling into place. I can't hide it Now hear my confession.
You are the air that I breathe. You're the ground beneath my feet. When did I stop believing?
Cause I feel myself surrender Each time I see your face. I am staggered by your beauty, Your unassuming grace. And I feel my heart Falling into place. I can't hide it Now hear my confession. I can't hide it Now hear my confession. Hear my confession

Falling into place.
I can't hide it
