[Verse 1]
The wind howls through the canyon, shakes the wires thin and frail,
A thousand homes in darkness, no heat to fight the gale.
My boots crunch through the gravel, sparks dancing in the rain,
Each pole I climb’s a battle, but I carry through the strain.
[Prechorus]
I’m chasing down the thunder,
Wrestling with the sky.
[Chorus]
High voltage heart, working through the night,
Turning black to gold with a flood of light.
When the world goes dark, I take my stand,
With calloused hands and a lineman’s brand.
[Verse 2]
The hum of the transformer, a hymn to those who mend,
The broken strands of power, to bring the storm’s end.
I see faces in the windows, lit soft against the gloom,
It’s their hope that keeps me going, in the shadow of the moon.
[Prechorus]
I climb above the chaos,
To patch the heavens wide.
[Chorus]
High voltage heart, working through the night,
Turning black to gold with a flood of light.
When the world goes dark, I take my stand,
With calloused hands and a lineman’s brand.
