Net Beneath the Wire

[Intro: tense guitar harmonics, irregular toms]

[Verse 1: intimate rhythmic baritone]
You walked a wire above the floor
With everybody keeping score
One shaky step, your balance broke
And laughter filled the room like smoke

I didn't have a clever line
Just reached my hands out in time

[Pre-Chorus: climbing melodic thirds]
The world has plenty throwing stones
It needs more people catching those

[Chorus: explosive soaring melody]
I'll be the net beneath the wire
Not another voice demanding higher
If you stumble, if you fall
You haven't lost your worth at all
Take a breath and try once more
I'll help you find the steady floor

[Break: distorted rhythm guitar, slap bass]

[Verse 2: conversational melody]
You tried again, your hands still shook
I showed you where to place your foot
No promise that you'd never fall
Just room to learn beyond it all

[Bridge: half-time, fragile baritone]
We cannot take away each risk
But we can change what failure is

[Final Chorus: stacked harmonies, cathartic]
I'll be the net beneath the wire
Let courage rise above the fear
A kinder world gives people room
To fall and still be welcome here

[Outro: bright major resolution]
