[Intro]

[Ambient sounds of a distant city... motorbikes, a faint siren]

(Hhhmmm mmmhhh)

[Pulsing synth enters, rhythmic and steady]

[Verse 1]

Twelve thousand miles from the house where I was born

Standing in a plaza, feeling weathered and worn

The wind off the Med is a cold, sharp blade

While the world moves in colors I didn't help shade

Families laughing in a tongue I don’t speak

Looking for a shelter that I didn’t know I’d seek

Just a ghost in a jacket, just a name on a flight

Lost in the static of a Barcelona night.

[Verse 2]

They’re bolting down the iron, they’re wiring up the sound

Black cables like snakes all across the frozen ground

Men in yellow vests screaming orders to the sky

While the motorbikes and taxis go whistling by

I’m a decimal point in a city of ten million souls

Losing my grip on the things I can control

[Pause]

Then a hum in the speakers... a crackle in the air...

And the silence of the lonely meets a sudden, silver prayer.

[Chorus]

And the Signal broke the noise!

(Broke the noise!)

Four notes of wood and steel, like a long-lost voice

I wasn't a stranger, I wasn't out of place

I was a note in the song, I was a part of the space

The static cleared out and the world came in loud

I found my own heartbeat in the middle of the crowd

Yeah, the Signal found the Satellite, it found me right there

In the gravity of being in the middle of the square!

[Verse 3]

I looked at the stagehands, I looked at the tree

I saw the same current running through them and me

The "lonely" was a lie that the static tried to tell

But the music was a hammer, and the isolation fell!

(The isolation fell!)

[Bridge]

[Spoken word - quiet, intimate]

"It didn't say 'Come home'... it said 'You’re already here.'

It didn't fight the distance... it made the distance clear."

[Music swells - high energy]

From the Christmas tree lights to the workers on the stage

I was reading the story, I was part of the page!

[Guitar Solo - Soaring, melodic, echoing the "Wish You Were Here" frequency without copying it]

[Final Chorus]

Yeah, the Signal found the Satellite, it found me right there!

In the gravity of being (Gravity of being!)

In the middle of the square!

[Outro]

Can you hear it? (The Signal in the dark)

Can you feel it? (The jumping of the spark)

I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be...

Connected to the circuit...

[Whispered]

Finally free.

[Final sustained synth chord fades into city noise]

[End]
