📝 Lyrics

[Intro]
One breath in a gymnasium
Sneakers squeak and the rafters hum
A small kid stands where the tall lights burn
Then the room hears feathers turn

[Verse 1]
They were waiting for jokes, for a song, for a trick
For something loud enough to stick
He cupped the air like a secret thing
And let a hidden forest sing

A cardinal spark, a crow-black laugh
A sparrow stitched through the microphone path
Every borrowed wing came true
Like the ceiling remembered blue

[Pre-Chorus]
Some voices come with thunder
Some voices crack the stone
Some rise thin as morning
And still they find their own

[Chorus]
Call the sky down
Call it through the crowd
Little lungs, wild sound
Nobody laughing now
If they never heard you before
Let the rafters learn your name
Call the sky down
And make the quiet change

[Verse 2]
Phones came up like city glass
But he was not a screen to pass
He was reeds by a parking lot
He was every small thing they forgot

The teachers froze, then the bleachers broke
A thousand smiles in a cloud of smoke
Not because the world was kind
But because he opened a door in the mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Some gifts do not ask permission
Some songs do not need strings
Some kids survive the hallway
By learning how the wild thing sings

[Chorus]
Call the sky down
Call it through the crowd
Little lungs, wild sound
Nobody laughing now
If they never heard you before
Let the rafters learn your name
Call the sky down
And make the quiet change

[Bridge]
I know what it is to carry
A voice too strange for the room
To keep it folded in your chest
Like a bird inside a broom
But strange becomes a signal
And signal becomes flame
The day you stop apologizing
For the weather in your name

[Breakdown]
Chirp, cry, whistle, scream
Wake the lockers from their dream
Tin roof, soft throat, bright command
Put a whole wild country in your hand

[Final Chorus]
Call the sky down
Call it through the crowd
Little lungs, wild sound
Nobody laughing now
If they never heard you before
Let the rafters learn your name
Call the sky down
And make the quiet change

[Outro]
One breath in a gymnasium
Then branches where the banners hung
A small kid smiles, the echoes fly
Some voices are born with sky
