Nathan and the Printer

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Nathan walked through the creaky old door
A library in need
Dust on the floor
The printer sat still
A machine out of time
Its beeps like the echoes of some bygone chime

[Verse 2]
They said
"It's a relic
Best let it go
"
But Nathan declared
"There’s more here to show."
With wrenches and wires
He studied each flaw
A hero unsung
With grit as his law

[Chorus]
Oh Nathan
Oh Nathan
The people's light
Fighting for pages through a long
Dark night
With hands stained by toner and courage so pure
The library's heart
You chose to restore

[Verse 3]
Pages were trapped in its stubborn old grip
But Nathan refused to let patience slip
He stayed through the evening
A shadowed crusade
Each jam like a puzzle the world had made

[Verse 4]
The patrons peered in
Their hopes running high
As gears slowly turned with a hesitant sigh
At last through the tray
The paper did slide
And cheers filled the room like the tide at high

[Chorus]
Oh Nathan
Oh Nathan
The people's light
Fighting for pages through a long
Dark night
With hands stained by toner and courage so pure
The library's heart
You chose to restore
