Lyrics
Intro: 5s instrumental only — grand piano + nylon acoustic guitar + soft strings, no vocal
Verse 1: Male vocals — soft tenor, close-mic, restrained emotion
Under black concrete, I froze
No map, no door, no sound
I kept my name inside my mouth
Too scared to let it out
The wall was talking back in grey
I almost let it win
Then something thin across the frame
Said, “Start again”
Female Response: clear mezzo, intimate, gentle answer
Hey, are you still there?
Don’t close your eyes
I see a way in
Stay with the light
Pre-Chorus: Duet — call and response, rising
Male
I thought I was gone for good
Female
No, you were only folded
Male
Can I come back from this?
Female
Slowly, I’ll help you hold it
Duet
Don’t look away now
Chorus: Duet — unison first, then thirds harmony
One little line
I come alive
One little line
Pulls me outside
This light calls me
I won’t back down
This light calls me
I’m coming out
Post-Chorus: Duet keyword loop, 2–4 bars
Oh-oh, I see it
Oh-oh, I need it
Line, line, one line
Light, light, all mine
Verse 2: Female lead — clear, close, emotionally steady
White cuts the dark like a sign
Across the empty wall
I used to think the night was mine
Now I can hear you call
Male Response: soft tenor
You make the silence feel less high
You make the black look small
I was afraid to want the light
Now I want it all
Pre-Chorus 2: Duet — stronger
Female
Look at me now
Male
I forgot how to stay
Female
I’ll say your name
Duet
Till it finds its way
Chorus 2: Duet — fuller harmony, doubles on hook
One little line
I come alive
One little line
Pulls me outside
This light calls me
I won’t back down
This light calls me
I’m coming out
Post-Chorus: Duet keyword loop
Oh-oh, I see it
Oh-oh, I need it
Line, line, one line
Light, light, all mine
Bridge: Male soft falsetto + Female whispered response
Male
Even when I lost my way
Female
You were not the ending
Male
If a crack can turn to a gate
Female
Let’s open it together
Duet
One, two, three—go
Final Chorus: Duet — key lift, octave doubles, emotional peak
One little line
We come alive
One little line
Pulls us outside
This light calls us
We won’t back down
This light calls us
We’re coming out
One little line
One little line
This light calls us
We’re coming out
Outro: 3s instrumental only — piano + nylon acoustic guitar + soft strings fade, no vocal
