Lyrics:
Verse 1
I saw a code in pencil-gray
On quiet letters locked away
A sugar mark, a silent chain
That kept the old song in its cage
Pre-Chorus
So we aimed a steady light
Right at the doorway, not the whole night
Lift the veil, keep the rest intact
Let the rhythm find its track
Chorus
Unmute the blue note, let it rise
From hidden pages to the skies
When the locks let go, the choir begins
A newborn chorus under the skin
Verse 2
A keeper copies every sign
To hold the hush in perfect time
But if you clear those marks with care
The air comes back, the room is there
Bridge
Not one lone switch, it’s a braided wire
A row of sparks before the fire
Erase the pattern, not the place
And watch the future change its face
Final Chorus
Unmute the blue note, let it rise
From hidden pages to the skies
Target the silence, make it bend
And let that bright refrain defend
Unmute the blue note—hold it strong
A lasting, living healing song
