Library Card Stamp

[Intro]

(Stamp) Library card —

Ink still warm on me

[Verse 1]

Morning light on quiet shelves, my backpack finds a chair,

I slide the card across the desk — a soft click in the air;

Blue stamp lands like a tiny yes, the date sits neat and clear,

If learning fits in paper small, then I can start right here.

[Pre-Chorus]

Hold the card... breathe in...

Ready.

[Chorus]

Library card stamp, click — I'm walking in,

Little blue yes against my palm;

Someone kept the desk lights on, someone kept the desk lights on,

If the room feels kind, that's fair —

Library card stamp, click — I'm walking in,

Sun and paper dust, quiet grin;

Someone kept the desk lights on, someone kept the desk lights on,

Stamp it once and I begin.

[Verse 2]

Lunchtime note in a borrowed book, I leave a spare pen near the edge,

For the next hand that needs a line, no speech, just open space;

I zip my bag like a small parade — no thanks required aloud,

The shelves keep secrets made of care in ordinary light.

[Pre-Chorus]

Hold the card... breathe in...

Ready.

[Chorus]

Library card stamp, click — I'm walking in,

Little blue yes against my palm;

Someone kept the desk lights on, someone kept the desk lights on,

If the room feels kind, that's fair —

Library card stamp, click — I'm walking in,

Sun and paper dust, quiet grin;

Someone kept the desk lights on, someone kept the desk lights on,

Stamp it once and I begin.

[Bridge]

Not every brave thing needs a stage,

Some of them fit in a stamp I saved;

Ink and hope in equal parts —

Blue looks good on a starting day.

[Final Chorus]

Library card stamp, click — I'm walking in,

Little blue yes against my palm;

Someone kept the desk lights on, someone kept the desk lights on,

If the room feels kind, that's fair —

Library card stamp, click — I'm walking in,

Sun and paper dust, quiet grin;

Someone kept the desk lights on — and I begin,

Stamp it once and I begin.

[Outro]

(Stamp) Library card...

Someone kept the light.
