Song: "The Beacon of Hope"

Verse 1
Through winds of war and skies so gray,
A queen arose to light the way.
Her voice a flame, her will a shield,
Through darkest times, she would not yield.
Through exile's pain, her courage grew,
A beacon bright, her spirit true.

Chorus
Oh, Wilhelmina, queen of light,
Your strength endures through darkest night.
Through every storm, through freedom’s fight,
Your legacy shines ever bright.

Verse 2
Through lands in shadow, hope she gave,
Her voice the call for the free and brave.
Through battles fought and victories earned,
Her steadfast heart forever burned.
Through every tear, her people found,
A queen whose love would not back down.

Chorus
Oh, Wilhelmina, queen of light,
Your strength endures through darkest night.
Through every storm, through freedom’s fight,
Your legacy shines ever bright.

Bridge
Through flags that wave and hearts that sing,
Her name resounds through everything.
A queen of courage, fierce and free,
Her story flows through history’s sea.

Outro
Wilhelmina, your tale ascends,
Through every soul, through every friend.
A queen eternal, of love untold,
Forever shining, fierce and bold.
