[Negative space between phrases]
[Vocals forward]
[INTRO — sparse and delicate, a single note repeating like a signal being sent]
Open your heart Let the light in Not just a little crack All the way
[VERSE 1 — intimate, almost fragile, like handling something precious]
Life scatters us Fragments break off along the way Old hurts, forgotten parts Pieces left behind to survive
The stuck parts remain Waiting in the places You were too tired To go back for
[PRE-CHORUS — comfort arriving before the journey begins]
But they didn't leave Still holding your name We have help A way of phoning home
Not by escaping But by returning To the place inside That still remembers wholeness
[CHORUS — DROP, wide and luminous, expansive but grounded]
The fragments are not lost They won't abandon their post so easily Still connected Still remembering Still waiting
Open your heart And they begin returning One by one Back to the center Back to where love lives
[VERSE 2 — a warning woven into wonder, the tone shifting slightly]
Imagination is powerful It opens entire worlds Color, movement Layers upon layers
But there is a warning Hidden in that power
Don't get lost out there
Even hell can become convincing If you wander too far Into the stories You tell yourself
The mind can paint anything And sometimes it paints suffering With incredible Detail
It takes courage To open that wide
[PRE-CHORUS — the signal going out, mysterious and certain]
But the essence knows the way There is a quiet signal A kind of inner phone call Going out
[CHORUS — DROP]
The fragments are not lost They won't abandon their post so easily Still connected Still remembering Still waiting
Open your heart And they begin returning One by one Back to the center Back to where love lives
[BRIDGE — the transmission arriving, sparse and otherworldly, almost spoken]
E.T. Phone home
Not a joke A message A quiet remembrance Calling the scattered pieces back To where they belong
[breath]
The essence knows the way It always did
[FINAL CHORUS — full drop, euphoric and tender, the journey completing]
The fragments are not lost They never were Still connected Still remembering Coming home
Open your heart Wide open One by one They're coming home Back to where love lives
[OUTRO — the single note returns, warmer now, fuller]
Open your heart Let the light in Not just a little crack
All the way
All the way
