[Intro]
Midnight streets hum with sparking lights, a city in suspense
A mic crackles static, a voice cuts through the tense air
Crowd shifts, eyes watch the flicker of the power on the edge
[Verse 1]
The podium glows; a map of outages, a map of dreams gone dark
A caller counts the minutes, wallets thin, hearts sharpened by the spark
Flags wave like weathered banners, slogans rise with the current surge
We chant for a steady pulse, for the grid to bend, not break or purge
[Chorus]
Power! Power! Listen to the street’s demand
Give us the current to walk through the night, hand to hand
Power! Power! Let the markets breathe again
Raise the level of care, restore the trust we used to lend
[Verse 2]
Shopfronts flicker, stockrooms empty, the clock refuses to wait
A grandmother hovers by a fridge that sighs and hisses at the gate
Youth drum on fences, boots echo as the alleys wake and speak
We trade rumors for receipts, for light, for a future we can keep
[Pre-Chorus]
Some say it’s politics, some say it’s the weather of debt
But every face in the crowd knows the bill is not a safe bet
[Chorus]
Power! Power! Listen to the street’s demand
Give us the current to walk through the night, hand to hand
Power! Power! Let the markets breathe again
Raise the level of care, restore the trust we used to lend
[Bridge]
Sirens in the distance, a chorus of voices in the rain
We cradle the city’s pulse, refuse to bow to the strain
If we stand, the light will rise from the gaps in the dark
Together we’ll reboot the dawn, ignite a common spark
[Chorus]
Power! Power! Listen to the street’s demand
Give us the current to walk through the night, hand to hand
Power! Power! Let the markets breathe again
Raise the level of care, restore the trust we used to lend
[Outro]
The crowd disperses slow but the map remains, redrawn with grit and plan
An echo of demand stays, a vow to power up this land
