Nic - part 2

This song is where the story begins, not with prophecy or revelation, but with a father and son trying to hold on to each other across distance, ambition, and time.

Bill speaks from the heart he’s carried his whole life, a heart rooted in memories he doesn’t yet understand, the quiet stories his grandfather whispered, the pulse of the land beneath his feet. Echo speaks from the world he’s climbed into: polished rooms, political pressure, and the hard shell he built to survive.

Between them hangs something ancient, a heartbeat rising beneath the silence, a rhythm Echo hears but can’t explain. It’s the first crack in the armor, the first tremor in a world about to shift.

This song is just a phone call…
and yet it’s the beginning of everything.

[Verse 1]
Hey son, I know you’re busy, I won’t keep you long
Just a late-night call ‘cause something feels wrong
You were the boy who reached out when the hopeless cried
Now you talk like feelings are something to hide

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not judging you, Echo it’s just what I see
A shadow where your heart used to be

[Chorus]
’m not here to change your mind
Just hoping you remember your light
Sometimes the world turns a good man cold
Don’t forget the fire you had when you were twelve years old

Dad, I’m doing what I can
You raised me to stand strong like a man
This world don’t bend for hopeful hearts
I’m just playing the role, I didn’t write the part

[Verse 2]
These rooms are full of voices telling me who to be
They say compassion’s weakness in this century
Every step I climb, someone grabs my sleeve
Dad, it ain’t as simple as you make it seem

[Pre-Chorus]
But late at night, I hear a quiet drum
Like something old calling, telling me to come

[Chorus]
Son, I won’t preach, I won’t push too hard
Just don’t forget the boy who felt others’ scars

I’m not that boy, I buried him deep
But sometimes his voice won’t let me sleep

[Bridge]
You were always meant for something true
More than the ladder they built in front of you
And sometimes, Echo, the past starts to speak
A heartbeat in the soil, steady, low, and weak

[Final Chorus]
I’m not asking you to choose tonight
Just keep one window open to the light

Dad, I hear you even when I fight
There’s something in me stirring, but it don’t feel right

[Outro]
Son, sometimes the wind remembers
And the earth keeps a quiet beat for us
long before we know why
