The Call

[Verse 1, gentle fingerpicking] The whiteboard's full of arrows now Fourteen voices, one shared doubt We circled back since afternoon And nobody will leave the room They want permission, not a vote They want somebody's hand to hold [Chorus] Somebody's gotta make the call When every door looks like a wall I heard you all, I felt the weight Now watch me walk through anyway Somebody's gotta make the call [Verse 2] It's not the kombucha or the font It's the one you can't take back A hundred futures on the board And I'm the one who picks the road Not 'cause I'm right, I might be wrong But standing still has cost too long [Chorus] Somebody's gotta make the call When every door looks like a wall I heard you all, I felt the weight Now watch me walk through anyway Somebody's gotta make the call [Bridge, stripped back, breath] Consensus is a hiding place Where no one has to show their face But truth is not a social thing It cuts right through the gathering... [Final Chorus, full build] Somebody's gotta make the call One name beside it on the wall I heard you all — that was the point Now let me be the one who's joined To every consequence that falls Somebody's gotta make the call [Outro, fading] Make the call... make the call...
