Lyrics
In the workshop before the morning, one
lamb cuts the grain
A careful hand checks every signal
Keeps the fragile world away
From the wall to the field station,
from the bench to distant shores,
we know the smallest quiet failure can become
an open door.
So we pass along the hard -won lessons, every diagram and
name,
bring a worn out unit back to service
Teach the next one how to
When a question crosses borders
Let the answer travel fast
Build a program made for seasons
Built to serve and built to last
No one carries every answer
No one stands alone
Every skill becomes a bridge now
Every voice becomes a whole
Join the rising, bring your experience
Lift the future higher
Hand to hand we turn the care we give
Into a living fire
Across the distance, across the years
We make the way grow wider
Join the rising, bring your experience
Lift the future higher
Let the workshop lamps awaken,
one by one across the land.
Every mentor,
every learner, adding light with open hands.
Repair the trust, renew the promise, share the knowledge,
clear the way.
What we build through one another keeps tomorrow
strong. Join the rise and bring
your experience
Lift the future higher
Hand to hand we turn the care we give
Into a living fire
Across the distance Across the years
We make the way grow wider
Join the rising Bring your experience
Lift the future higher
Join the rising Bring your experience
Lift the future higher
Every workshop Every harbor
It comes a brighter wire
Teach the wisdom, share the tools
Let no good lesson tire,
join the rise and bring your experience
Lift the future higher
From a single lamp to a sunrise,
from a question to a choir
We are building what will carry on
Lift the future high
Lift the future higher
It's the future higher
