[Verse 1]
Morning rises on a rooftop garden
Steel and ivy sharing the same sun
Buses breathing out a quiet kindness
Screens on the towers all turning to trees
[Chorus]
Future in a shade of green
Chrome reflections
Lungs that breathe
We built a city that can dream
Future in a shade of green
Glass and gardens
Streets all clean
We built a city that can dream
[Verse 2]
Sky-rails hum above the river-market
Kids trade stories more than they trade things
Crosswalk talking
Tells me “take it easy”
Every corner buzzing with soft light
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Remember when the air felt heavy?
Now the clouds hang low just to see
All these tiny parks on balconies
Growing over every memory
Of what it used to be
[Chorus]
