original music (SONG030626/not released) by "raiders of the lost heart

after school at midnight/Lyrics:

Verse 1
After school in eighty-four
The halls were empty, cold and blue
He stayed behind with dusty books
And dreams he never knew

She walked in like a summer storm
With starlight in her eyes
A stranger in a teacher’s coat
A secret in disguise

Pre-Chorus
He wrote his name a thousand times
Just hoping she would see
The quiet boy behind the desk
And who he longed to be

Chorus
After school at midnight
When the neon stars came down
She opened up the sky for him
Above that sleeping town

He thought it was love calling
Like a dream he couldn’t name
But she was sent to find him
Before the world became a flame

Verse 2
She smiled when no one else would look
She knew the words he’d hide
As if she heard his lonely heart
From somewhere deep inside

Then the blackboard turned to silver light
The classroom disappeared
She said, “I came to find you
For the danger drawing near”

Bridge
She took his hand so gently
And the ceiling turned to stars
He saw the Earth below them
So beautiful, so far

“You are the chosen one,” she said,
“The signal in the dark
Only you can wake the light
That sleeps inside your heart”

Final Chorus
After school at midnight
They flew beyond the rain
Past the moonlit football fields
Past the streets that knew his name

He was just a shy boy
With a heart too loud to hide
But she showed him he was more
Than the fear he kept inside

Outro
And though she had to leave him
When the danger passed away
He still heard her whisper
At the end of every day

“Chosen hearts can never die…
They only learn to fly…”
