Courage at the Counter

[Intro] Oven glow, streetlight hum. [Verse 1] In a bakery at closing, a shy clerk sighs, A bold street performer meets his eyes. They swap a napkin plan, bright and clear, Turn fear to fire and lend the shop their cheer. [Chorus] Doubt fades to courage, hearts rise now, sing it loud Together we save this place we love. [Verse 2] They craft a message baked in warmth and light, A simple chant that the town can unite behind. The window lights glow, crowds begin to arrive, The shutters stay open and the ovens hum alive. [Chorus] Doubt fades to courage, hearts rise now, sing it loud Together we save this place we love. [Bridge] From wary steps to bold, they take the floor, Hand in hand, they push the door a little more. [Outro] Bell rings, flour dust in the air, hope in the air.
