[Verse 1]
Plastic bottle on the sidewalk
Turns to glass in my hand in this dream
Rooftop gardens over traffic
Kids catch sun where smoke used to be
[Pre-Chorus]
Bike lanes silver in the morning
Old brick walls covered in vine
Breathing feels easy for once
Like the whole town finally aligned
[Chorus]
Green skyline
Steel and leaves in the same bright line
Hear the buses humming in time
Future feels close when the air’s this kind
Green skyline
We were waiting and we just arrived
Every little choice keeping us alive
Under this green
Green skyline
[Verse 2]
Solar panels on the school roof
Painted murals of the sea
Grandma charging up her scooter
Laughs and says
“This one’s on the breeze”
[Pre-Chorus]
Trash day looks a little different
Color bins lined down the street
We trade the old for the renewable
And call that everyday routine
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Remember when the river coughed
Now it runs clear
Runs strong
We planted hope in tiny pots
[low vocal register] It took years
[build] But it caught on
It caught on
[Chorus]
