Compose Like a Girl
Known (SATB)
Grace Becker
Affirming, melodic, accessible, and moving.
-
Known
for SATB choir, solo & piano
Written in an accessible singer/songwriter style, “Known” celebrates finding one’s true self. A vocal solo gives way to vocal accompaniment figures, followed by duetting voices and finally an affirming, homophonic choral texture. The piano accompaniment is engaging, yet easy enough for a student to play. Great for high school or college choirs.

Text
No more secrets,
no more hiding,
I’ve found my home.
The world could change in a moment
but I am not alone.
There is freedom in surrender
that brings the dark to life.
There’s a hunger in the shadows
only love can satisfy.
Suddenly, I see how wonderful it is
to be known.
No use in sitting quiet,
free the words you long to say.
Let your heart be heard,
fill the silence,
you are loved and you are safe.
You no longer are a captive
of the fear within the lies.
Let your truth ring out
as arms surround and lean into new life.
Suddenly, you’ll see how wonderful it is
to be known.
You are seen, you are known,
you are more than you believe.
There is life, there is hope,
there is joy within your reach.
You are seen, you have grown,
you are home, you are known.
