HERO’S JOURNEY I - THE SIGNAL

[Intro – distant transmission] Ground to unknown… There’s something in the silence… I can feel it [Verse 1] I saw a face I couldn’t place A moment out of time No name, no past, no trace to hold But something felt like mine It passed like light through open hands Too distant to define But somewhere deep it marked a line I never left behind [Laura – faint, almost air] I remember… [Verse 2] Years went by, I built a life Let the silence take control Buried what I couldn’t explain Somewhere underneath it all But something stayed beneath the noise A current running through Like every road I tried to walk Was leading back to you [Pre-Chorus] No signal clear, no voice to hear Still something pulls me near [Chorus] There’s a call I can’t ignore Though I don’t know what it’s for Through the dark, beyond the known Something tells me I’m not alone I don’t know your name or where you are But I feel you through the dark Like a fire I’ve never seen Still burning in my heart [Laura – slightly clearer] You said you’d wait… [Verse 3] Was it real or just a dream Something I was meant to lose Or a truth I wasn’t ready for A path I didn’t choose Now the silence feels different Like it’s speaking in disguise Every moment, every turn Like a truth I recognize [Bridge – cinematic lift] If this is more than memory If this was always meant Then every step I took away Was leading where it went [Final Chorus – expanded] There’s a call I can’t ignore And it’s stronger than before Through the distance, through the years I can feel it drawing near I don’t know how, I don’t know when But I know this isn’t the end What I lost or left behind Was never gone—just out of time [Outro – fading transmission] Ground… I hear it now… [Laura – close, soft] I’m here…
