[Verse 1]
Steel roots in the soil
Vines on the high-rise spine
Wind farms turning like slow halos
Over tram lines
Quiet and bright
Kids race on a rooftop meadow
Skate past tomatoes in rows
You laugh with your bike helmet crooked
Leaves stuck all over your clothes
[Chorus]
This is our garden of glass
Where the towers breathe and the rivers run clean
Every street grows back
From a crack to a living green
We were born in the smoke
Now we’re planting in the sky
Set free
This is our garden of glass
And it finally looks like home to me
[Verse 2]
Morning from a solar window
Sun paints the moss on the wall
Drones bring bread in woven baskets
Circle
Descend
Then gone
Old maps pinned in the metro
Show gray where the green should be
You say
"We rewrote the future"
Point at the ivy
Then at me
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Remember sirens
Crowded air?
Now it’s birdcalls over the square
[low vocal register] I still taste the dust sometimes
But you take my hand
Guide it through a hanging fern
Say
"Feel that—proof we changed the plan"
[Chorus]
