Entry for Amanda Palmer's Sunday Songwriting Contest regarding the blackout in NYC this past weekend.

“Power Restored”
Music and Lyrics by Carissa Johnson

Saturday night, the midsummer lights should be blindingly bright
Traffic signs below a west side glow
Crowded lines above a timeworn road of hope

Mechanical failure now the power's been drowned
And the marquees are saying that the show can’t go on
Stores emptied out, dizzying sounds of

Civilians and millions of dreams
Strong despite the siren screams
Broadway’s still brilliant ‘cause we are resilient
Darkness can’t stop our hearts from gleaming

“Fend for yourself” they said
The blackout is stretching from
72nd street to west and beyond
You better carry the light
Because it comes from inside
You know it’s only been hiding
Here’s it’s chance to shine

Here in the middle of the city of dreams
Strong despite the dimming, so eerie
Subway cars and elevators stopped
In a swath at the center of the world

“This is not the time” they said
The blackout is stretching from
72nd street to west and beyond
You better carry the light
Because it comes from inside
You know it’s only been hiding
Here’s it’s chance to shine

Saturday night, the midsummer lights are still blindingly bright
If you close your eyes you’ll hear the cheers ring out
Dizzying sounds along the timeworn road of hope

“No light for miles” they said
The blackout is stretching from
72nd street to west and beyond
You better carry the light
Because it comes from inside
You know it’s only been hiding
Here’s it’s chance to shine

Oh can’t you see it so clearly now
The light from inside out
Power restored because darling,
You held the power all along x2
Power restored because darling,
We held the power all along x2

Power Restored
