[Verse 1]
Glass roots rising
From the breathing ground
Vines on the rooftop rails
Silent trains glide around
Sun caught asleep
On silver solar veins
Kids draw constellations
In the car-free lanes
[Chorus]
This is my futuristic green city
Sky gardens over every street
Breathing in the light
We’re living
Breathing out the smoke we used to be
My futuristic green city
Where the metal learns to grow
We were running out of time
Now we’re watching forests overflow
[Verse 2]
Balconies dripping
With tomatoes and thyme
Old brick wrapped in ivy
Holding hands with time
Drones drop parcels
By the riverside walk
Neighbors trade basil
More than they talk
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Remember when the air
Tasted like machines
Now the morning opens
On a dozen shades of green
If this is just a dream
Don’t wake this century
Let the towers keep on planting
Every floor a little tree
[Chorus]
