Lyrics
The Bench Light Homes
Above the Late Repair
A worn -out meter rests beside the chair
In every handwritten number, every mark
A steady pair of hands has left a spark
The The service cards remember where they've been.
The doors swing wide and close on what was learned.
The tools grow quiet when the stories end unless we place them in
another hand.
So before the final shift is through, leave a map
of what you knew.
Don't let the knowledge fade
Give it another name
Pass it through the years
Like a small enduring flame
Write it down, teach it well
Let every lesson carry
The care behind the craft
The reason we repair
When one chapter ends
The work can still remain
Don't let the knowledge fade
Give it another name
Show them how the strange alarm begins
Which hidden fault can fool the newest eyes
The patient waiting on the other side
Deserves the wisdom time has given you
Record the fix, the failure and the why
Leave room for questions no one thought to ask
A mental's voice can turn a borrowed chance
Into the confidence to take a stand
What you've gathered through the years
Can become somebody's courage here
Don't let the knowledge fade
Give it another name
Pass it through the years
Like a small enduring flame
Write it down, teach it well
Let every lesson carry the care behind the craft
The reason we repair when one chapter ends, the work can still
remain,
oh Don't let the knowledge fade,
give it another name
If you leave the field, the field can still speak
Through the notes you leave, through the hands you reach
No career is wasted, no hard one hour is gone
And the next set of hands can carry it on
Let the altars open doors they never knew
Let the lessons find a life beyond you
We are more than the years we have spent
We are every future they represent
Don't let the knowledge fade
Give it another name
Pass it through the years
Like a small enduring flame
Write it down Teach it well
Let every lesson carry
The care behind the craft
The reason we repair
When one chapter ends, the work can still remain
Don't let the knowledge fade
Give it another name
Give it another name
Let it live, let it live
Let it land, give it another name
Let the wisdom carry on
bench light shines on hands we'll never know
And every careful lesson helps the future grow
Don't let the knowledge fade
Give it another name
watching.
