[Verse 1]
Morning grows on silver towers
Vines climb chrome
They curl and claim
Bikes glide past the mossy stairways
Drones hum names on rooftop lanes
Kids skip stones in mirrored gardens
River clean enough to drink
Panels tilt to catch the daylight
Trash is gone before you think
[Chorus]
Emerald skyline
Breathing with us
Breathing with us
Streets full of sunshine
On the buses
On the buses
Heart of the future
Beating so kind
All this green wrapped around my mind
Emerald skyline
I don't wanna leave this time
[Verse 2]
Old man waters cactus planters
On his balcony in shade
Trains slide soft through living tunnels
Roots and rails in one parade
Billboards bloom with climbing clover
News floats on a quiet screen
Every breath a little lighter
Every brick a little green
[Bridge]
We remember
Smoke above the avenue
Now the thunder
Comes from rain on bamboo roofs
[whispered vocals] This is how
The world can sound
[full voice] Concrete veins
Growing forests from the ground
[Chorus]
