Then another light, stronger,
Ignites with a flash,
It fills the whole room,
In one luminous splash.
The light spills into the streets,
Driving the shadows away,
Exiled from our lives,
Replaced with hope that stays.
For so long, we struggled on,
Striving to learn,
But our steam-powered hearts,
Had no coal to burn.
But now refilled and relit,
The flame burns bright and true,
In dancing bursts it spreads,
The clouds finally broken through.
A restart, another chance,
To make all things right,
And nothing on this simple earth,
Could shine nearly as bright.

Then another light, stronger,
Ignites with a flash,
It fills the whole room,
In one luminous splash.
The light spills into the streets,
Driving the shadows away,
Exiled from our lives,
Replaced with hope that stays.
For so long, we struggled on,
Striving to learn,
But our steam-powered hearts,
Had no coal to burn.
But now refilled and relit,
The flame burns bright and true,
In dancing bursts it spreads,
The clouds finally broken through.
A restart, another chance,
To make all things right,
And nothing on this simple earth,
Could shine nearly as bright.
