Headlines on a Wire
Verse 1
On the steps where marble listens, a question splits the field, From the hills of West Virginia to Idaho revealed, Two names brave the echo, asking room on schoolyard lines, The bench leans toward the barriers, calls fairness hard to find, They say the game gives only so much space to play, While crowds with painted signs refuse to turn away, What happens here will ripple through more states than we can say.

Chorus
Hold these headlines in our hands, Between the gavel, smoke, and sands, We are more than what divides, We are bridges over tides, Let the truth ring through the night, Till the dawn rewrites our rights.
Verse 2
Across the sea a watchdog knocks on the door of X, For pictures made without consent, a wound you can’t un-fix, Ministers call it lawless, call it cruel and stark, Some nations closed the window, pulled the platform dark, Paywalls offered bandages, and victims called it spin, The owner fires at censors, says the state is closing in, But bans and fines are waiting where harms begin.

Verse 3
A year since orange midnight turned Los Angeles to ash, Sirens in the canyon, names we speak and pass, Flags half-bowed in memory, a pledge to build again, But roofs are slow to rise, and families live in when The mail brings hollow letters from the companies we trust, Investigations blooming through the drywall and the dust, Home is more than property, and home is what we must.

Chorus
Hold these headlines in our hands, Between the gavel, smoke, and sands, We are more than what divides, We are bridges over tides, Let the truth ring through the night, Till the dawn rewrites our rights.
Verse 4
Out on the slate-gray water, towers dream of turn, A judge says keep the hammers on, there’s more than pause to learn, A freeze was stamped for safety, stamped with secret fears, But ships are burning daylight, and contracts count the years, A president calls them losers, the blades just hold the sky, From coastal towns to harbors, the cables still rely On courts to cut the knots that choke the tide.

Verse 5
At the Hilton under chandeliers, the season finds its spark, One Battle After Another dances through the dark, Hamnet holds the heartbeat, Jessie claims her stage, Rose kicks up a comet, Timothée the page, The Studio laughs golden, The Pitt walks off with pride, Adolescence and demon hunters share the tide, A thousand camera flashes, and dreams collide.

Chorus
Hold these headlines in our hands, Between the gavel, smoke, and sands, We are more than what divides, We are bridges over tides, Let the truth ring through the night, Till the dawn rewrites our rights.
Verse 6
A new room in a fortress opens doors to wings, To catch the buzzing shadows over stadiums and rings, They’re buying speed and sensors for a summer world to come, From grants that moved like lightning to shields that hum and drum, The badge now shares its power with the cities on the ground, So when the crowd is singing, safe horizons circle round, Guardians in the air that make no sound.

Final Chorus and Ending
Hold these headlines in our hands, Let the quiet find its plans, We are more than what divides, We are bridges over tides, Light the courts, the screens, the coasts, Raise the names we cherish most, Spin the wind, rebuild the fire, Guard the sky and lift us higher, Sing it loud, the world’s choir— Till the dawn rewrites our rights.
