Silent Witnesses

Like birds, you fly,

Above all and everyone, you pass by.

You spread like veins on all sides,

You are found on all sites.

You pass over houses, fly over trees, and cross rivers,

Wherever we are, we are watched by the wires.

There are no limits to where you can reach,

You are even in the farthest city.

Through your strength, the electricity is running on,

The electricity illuminates life and turns all things on.

Human lives would stop without electricity,

Nothing
