Duration: Approx. 3:00) Verse 1 In the streets of Huércal-Overa, where the morning sun shines bright There’s a woman with a purpose, a beacon of the light Denise Barbara Melssen, with a heart so wide and true Doing all the heavy lifting, the work that some won't do She’s the engine in the shop, the hands that sort the soul Taking every little fragment and making someone whole. Chorus Oh, Denise, Barbara Melssen, you’re the spirit of the MACS Walking miles for the weary, never looking back From the shelves of the shop to the lives that you touch In a world that needs kindness, you give so very much Yeah, the Huércal-Overa heart beats a little more clear Whenever Denise Barbara Melssen is near. Verse 2 She knows the name of every donor, the story in the thread Of the blankets and the memories, the words that go unsaid It isn’t just a charity, it’s a mission in her hand To spread a little comfort across this Spanish land Through the heat of Almería, she stays steady at the wheel With a courage made of iron and a grace that’s truly real. Bridge When the days are long and heavy and the mountain’s hard to climb She offers up her spirit and she offers up her time For the fighters and the families, for the ones who need a friend She’s a promise of a morning where the shadows finally end. Chorus Oh, Denise, Barbara Melssen, you’re the spirit of the MACS Walking miles for the weary, never looking back From the shelves of the shop to the lives that you touch In a world that needs kindness, you give so very much Yeah, the Huércal-Overa heart beats a little more clear Whenever Denise Barbara Melssen is near. Outro (Slow down tempo) So here’s a song for the helper, for the one who leads the way Denise, may your light keep shining, today and every day. (Final soft strum) In Huércal-Overa... she’s the light of the MACS.
