Lyrics
One more repair, one
more light One more reason
to make it right
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
The hallway clock was turning six
The coffee on the desk had gone cold
I had my coat across my arm
A long day finally letting go
Then a red phone rang behind the door
A town clinic losing power again
The message said, we need you now
And I heard tomorrow in the call
I saw the young tech by the loading bay
Toolcase shaking his hands I said, you can learn this
if you stay No one fixes hope alone
One more repair
One more light One
more reason to make it right
When the whole world says, leave it till tomorrow
We stay and carry someone through the night
One more repair,
one more light
Raise your hands and hold them high
If a single wire can open a doorway
Then we give this broken world one try
We called the night crew from the train
Pulled old diagrams from a drawer
The relay burned along the seam
But something deeper shook the floor
A newborn boy was waiting there
A row of monitors counting time
The apprentice traced the hidden fault
And found the answer under mine
I said trust the marks you made,
trust the questions that you bring
Every master once stood here with a first impossible
thing One more repair,
one more light
One more reason to make it right
When the whole world says leave it till tomorrow, we stay
and carry someone through the night.
One more repair,
one more light.
Raise your hands and hold them high.
If a single wire can open a doorway,
Then we give this broken world one try
Not for a male, not for a man
Not for the hours we could reclaim
For every mother waiting by her bed
For every promise hanging by a thread
Call the crew, bring the plans
Put the future in our hands
When the smallest switch turns on
A thousand dark rooms meet the dawn
At 2 .17, the monitors breathe
Green lines rose across the room
The young tech laughed and covered his face the silence broke like
thunder blooming outside the clinic window shown one small
building against the rain but every house beyond that
hill was counting on that light again.
Say when the answer hides.
Stand when the long night calls.
Lift every hand beside you.
One light can reach them.
One more repair.
One more light. One more light.
One more reason, one more reason to make
it right
Now the whole town wakes together, every window
burning bright
One more repair,
one more light, layer more light
Let the living banners fly,
we were tired but we stayed
And a thousand hearts made it through the night
One more repair, one more repair, one more light
One more reason One more reason
To make it right
From the hands that teach tomorrow
To to the souls we save tonight
One more repair,
one more light Sing it till the heavens rise
When we choose to stay together,
we can turn the dark to sunrise
One more repair, one more repair
One more light, one more reason
to make it right
you.
