Pages Turn

[Intro] Dust motes drift in the fluorescent glow The stacks sigh heavy, clocks ticking slow [Verse 1] Under a mountain of overdue books she sighs in gray, Papers spill like rain on the desk of yesterday. A dusty atlas hums, a seam of light opens wide, A hidden portal gleams and pulls her to the other side. [Chorus] Pages turn, and shadows fade away I step through ink into a brighter day Pages turn, my world's reborn! I’m the hero of my own adventure [Verse 2] The world wakes with talking ink and banners made of sound, Dragons read the margins; heroes and mysteries abound. She lifts her head, a map of courage in her hand, The librarian becomes the legend of this living land. [Chorus] Pages turn, and shadows fade away I step through ink into a brighter day Pages turn, my world's reborn! I’m the hero of my own adventure [Bridge] Between the shelves she finds a pulse she never knew That quiet heart can guide a myriad worlds to you [Chorus] Pages turn, and shadows fade away I step through ink into a brighter day Pages turn, my world's reborn! I’m the hero of my own adventure [Outro] Back at the desk, the clock ticks with a wiser glow Her orders carry echoes of the tales she knows When overdue calls, she answers with a vow: Stories are windows, and she’s learned how to show.
