[Verse 1]
Sunrise on chrome
Vines climb every window
Trams glide
Quiet halos
I breathe in the rooftop garden air
Neon moss on stairways
Kids race down the skywalk
Drones hum over tree lines
Delivering seeds
Not smoke
[Chorus]
Emerald skyline
Glass and leaves in the same design
We built a future
Where the roots and the circuits align
Emerald skyline
Concrete cracks
Letting branches shine
I can see tomorrow
Growing from the power lines
[Verse 2]
Reflections in puddles
Show towers wrapped in ivy
Wind farms on the horizon
Spin slow like a heartbeat
Solar veins in pavement
Glow soft under bare feet
Billboards bloom with jasmine
Instead of selling me a dream
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Remember grey days?
I replay them like a warning
Now every steel frame
Has a bird and a blossom on it
[low vocal register] I’m never going back
To that colorless past
[crescendo] This living city
Teaches how to last
[Chorus]
