**Title: Bring Back The Light**
You ask me what I’m missing,
I say: the world from before.
So much learned, so much seen,
but the easy days are gone.
The wonder of the first time,
the faith that we could do better.
That being human means more
than just functioning forever.
We talk too much.
We listen far too little.
Tell me when we lost ourselves.
Bring back the light,
bring back the light.
Bring back the fire,
bring back the fire.
I miss humanity,
that real and honest feeling.
Turn the world back on,
we want to live, not just survive.
Bring back the light,
bring back the light.
Let us start again.
I miss open faces,
curiosity without fear.
Thinking, building, dreaming together,
not just fighting to be right.
I miss closeness,
right now, in this time.
Not perfect, not flawless,
just human again.
We talk too much.
We listen far too little.
Maybe one glance is enough.
Maybe one word is enough.
Maybe one glance is enough.
Maybe one word is enough.
Maybe the courage
not to look away.
Maybe it starts small,
but it carries us far.
A spark becomes a fire
in this time.
Bring back the light,
bring back the light.
Bring back the fire,
bring back the fire.
We miss humanity,
that real and honest feeling.
Turn the world back on,
we want to live, not just survive.
Bring back the light,
bring back the light.
Let us start again.
Bring back the light,
bring back the light.
Bring back the fire,
bring back the fire.
We miss humanity,
that real and honest feeling.
Turn the world back on,
we want to live, not just survive.
Bring back the light,
bring back the light.
Let us start again.
Bring back the light.
Right now.
In this time.

Musikstyle
Raw English blues hard rock with atmospheric steel guitar, 3–4 minutes, around 126 BPM, instant dry electric guitar riff, no intro, no humming, no soft ambient beginning, no pads. Straight driving 4/4 rock groove, hard drums, sharp snare, stomping kick, gritty bass, two distorted rhythm guitars, short lead guitar answers between vocal lines. Add a soaring, emotional lap steel / slide guitar with long bending notes, wide delay, subtle reverb, spacey sustain, floating above the raw rock riff like a bright signal. Extremely raspy female rock lead vocal, dirty, bold, emotional, not smooth, not polished, no generic pop voice. Big chantable chorus with backing chants, stadium hook, strong title repetition. Dry, gritty, direct, energetic, hit potential but not mainstream pop, no EDM, no synthpop, no country.
