With so much darkness and hopelessness, Sometimes it's hard to see The Portland that we fell in love with, The Portland we still believe can be. Then the Knights came carrying a torch of kindness, Put a little sunshine on these streets, Shining light into the darkness, Helping hearts keep beating. CHORUS Thank you for believing in Portland, For believing there's still more to come, For bringing light into the shadows, For reminding us we're not done. For every mother, every daughter, For every heart still fighting hard, Phil and Penny, your generosity Put hope back in my heart. There'll be women walking through those doors Who don't know what tomorrow brings, Families praying in waiting rooms, Holding tightly onto everything. There'll be doctors searching for answers, Another life given one more start, And somewhere somebody gets more time With the person who owns their heart. CHORUS Thank you for believing in Portland, For believing there's still more to come, For bringing light into the shadows, For reminding us we're not done. For every mother, every daughter, For every heart still fighting hard, Phil and Penny, your generosity Put hope back in my heart. BRIDGE You can't put a price on another sunrise, Or one more birthday, one more year. You can't count the value of someone's life In dollars written anywhere. But you can give tomorrow a fighting chance, You can help somebody make it through. And when the world feels lost in darkness, Humanity still shines through. Sometimes kindness carries a torch, Sometimes hope becomes the spark, And sometimes one act of generosity Can put light back in the dark. FINAL CHORUS Thank you for believing in Portland, For putting sunshine on our streets, For giving hope a place to grow And helping broken hearts still beat. May every life your kindness touches Carry that light from heart to heart. When Portland needed something to believe in, You put hope back in my heart. OUTRO Through all the darkness, There still comes light. Sometimes hope rides in Like a knight in shining armor— And sometimes... It comes from a Knight.
