[Spoken] Hello Michael. It's been a while. [VERSE 1] You know I love Elly. She's clever. She's kind. She's bright. A joy to have around. A genuine delight. She fills a room with laughter. She turns the dark to light. And that grand and awesome power Still keeps me up at night. Your parents see a miracle. Perhaps they're not mistaken. But every miracle in history Has left the world awakened. Some changed it for the better. Some left a heavy cost. The trouble with great power Is knowing what gets lost. [PRE-CHORUS] And when I look at her, I don't see danger. I see potential. The kind that keeps old men awake at night. [CHORUS] Because one day A game becomes a battlefield. One day A dream becomes a storm. One day The line between imagination and reality No longer follows form. And when that day arrives, Someone must decide what's right. Someone with steadier hands. Someone with clearer sight. [VERSE 2] You notice things, Michael. You've always been that way. You ask what happens next While others get swept away. You look beyond the moment. You look beyond the show. Most people watch what happened. You want to know. That's not fear. That's foresight. There's wisdom in restraint. The world is full of people Who mistake caution for complaint. Every bridge is tested. Every ship must prove it's sound. And every force that lifts us up Must still be earthbound. [CHORUS] Because one day A game becomes a battlefield. One day A dream becomes a storm. One day Good intentions build something Nobody can control. And when that day arrives, Someone must decide what's right. Someone willing to stand their ground. Someone with clearer sight. [VERSE 3] My company has been working On a project of our own. A different path. A different answer. A way to anchor what has grown. Something built for balance. Something built for control. Not to stop the future. Just to steady what unfolds. A compass for the chaos. A hand upon the wheel. A way to separate What we imagine From what is truly real. Not a weapon. Not a prison. Not a throne to rule above. A safeguard built by people Who understood the weight of love. [BRIDGE] And that's why I called you. Not your father. Not your mother. Not because I trust you more. Because I trust you differently. You love your sister. Good. Never stop. Neither will I. That's exactly why this matters. Because love isn't looking away When the warning signs persist. Love is standing watch When everyone else insists. Love is doing what is difficult. Love is bearing what is hard. Love is protecting someone Even from themselves When they go too far. [BUILD] If she never needs it, Wonderful. No one will be happier than me. Let her sing. Let her dream. Let her build impossibilities. But if she stumbles? If she falls? If one careless moment Becomes something larger than us all? Wouldn't you rather be ready? Wouldn't you rather know? Wouldn't you rather have a way To help her if it starts to grow? [FINAL CHORUS] Because one day A game becomes a battlefield. One day A dream becomes a storm. One day The people that we love the most Need shelter from the storm. And when that day arrives, Someone must decide what's right. Someone willing to do what's hard. Someone with clearer sight. [OUTRO] Think about it. That's all I'm asking. Think about it. The future isn't built By hoping for the best. It's built by those willing To prepare for the rest. You really are a remarkable young man, Michael. And I believe you're exactly Who this world will need.
