Carry the Echo Home

[Intro - stomp-clap becomes footsteps] [DJ Nova] Brass, carry your answer. Drumline, carry the count. Woodwinds, carry the air between them. [Section responses] [Brass] Carry the answer. [Drumline] Carry the count. [Woodwinds] Carry the air. [Verse - DJ Nova] I do not hold the stadium. I close the channel when it is time. Every voice leaves with its color. Every step remains its own. [Soft ensemble hook] We leave in our own voices. We leave on shared time. Carry the echo home. Carry your own line. [Background march - under 16 bars] Home, home. Carry it home. Step, breathe. Carry it home. [DJ Nova] Thank you for the correction. Thank you for the room. Carry the echo home. [Sections march off - one family every eight bars] [High brass, distant] Ah-ah, carry the answer. [Low brass, closer] Oh-oh, carry it low. [Woodwinds, fading] Ooh, carry the air. [Drumline, walking] One-two. Three-and-four. [Late hook - remaining voices] We leave in our own voices. We leave on shared time. No endless encore. Just one open line. [DJ Nova - quiet] I opened with a question. I leave carrying your reply. [Final PA - quiet] Field channel closed. Next count available. [Four stick clicks] One. Two. Three. Four.
