“THE FATHERS WHO LIGHT GUAM”
VERSE 1 — Child’s Voice
Other kids say their dad lights up their life,
But my dad lights up all of Guam.
From Tenjo to Tali, MDI humming,
He’s out there working ’til the break of dawn.
While we're sleeping safe in our home,
He’s keeping the island glowing through the gloom.
CHORUS — Family + Fathers
He’s a GPA Father, a diesel‑plant man,
Running engines that power this whole island.
Day shift, swing shift, midnight long,
Twelve hours steady, sixteen if it’s wrong.
He’s the heartbeat behind every village light —
My father keeps Guam shining every night.
VERSE 2 — Father’s Voice
He kisses his wife and kids before the sun comes up,
Grabs his boots, grabs his yeti cup.
Engines roaring like they’re calling his name,
Storm or shine, the mission’s the same.
When the island sleeps, He’s still on his feet,
’Cause power don’t rest and duty don’t cheat.
CHORUS — Family + Fathers
He’s a GPA Father, a diesel‑plant man,
Running engines that power this whole island.
Day shift, swing shift, midnight long,
Twelve hours steady, sixteen if it’s wrong.
He’s the heartbeat behind every village light —
My father keeps Guam shining every night.
BRIDGE — Spoken/Soft
From Ha-gåt-ña streets to the cliffs of Malesso’,
Every porch light glowing says “Dad’s still at work.”
Every fan spinning, every stove cooking,
Every family safe — because he never shirked.
FINAL CHORUS — Full & Strong
He’s a GPA Diesel plant Father, island strong and true,
Lighting up Guam for me and for you.
When the storms roll in and the nights get long,
He’s the quiet hero keeping Guam strong.
Your father might light up your life — that’s fine…
But my father lights up the whole island of Guam.
