[Verse 1]
Glass vines on the tower sides
Balconies
Tomato lines
Kids race bikes down painted lanes
Fresh bread steam from a corner stand
Sky trains slide
Clean and quiet
Old man watering the sidewalk garden
Recycled brick
Wildflowers in the cracks
You can hear the city breathe back
[Chorus]
Green city of life
Every rooftop
Growing bright
From the river to the high-rise light
Green city of life
Breathing in
We come alive
One small seed at a time
[Verse 2]
Solar shine on the market roof
Rain tanks stacked like silver moons
Laundry sway over tiny figs
Bees drift slow through the traffic din
Schoolyard chalk
Circle of saplings
Little hands naming every planting
Steam from vents warms winter beds
Morning news read on park bench steps
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
We build it in the daylight
We keep it through the long nights
[whispered vocals] Passing on the plan
Hand to hand
[full voice] Every window
One more branch
[Chorus]
