[Verse 1]
Chrome trains
Glide above the garden roofs
Kids race
Bikes through tunnels wrapped in roots
Coffee steam
In a glasshouse on the ninth
Street trees
Counting every breath of light
[Pre-Chorus]
We learned to build it different
Brick by living leaf
From broken air and concrete
To something we can breathe
[Chorus]
Future greenstic city
Skyline made of vines and light
Every window waking
Blooming when the day turns bright
Future greenstic city
Heartbeats running clean and quick
We were drowning in the smoke
Now we’re growing in the brick
[Verse 2]
Rain tanks
Underneath the plaza floor
Sun threads
Stitched across the office doors
Old maps
Hanging in the public hall
Red lines
Where we used to watch it fall
[Pre-Chorus]
We turned the heat to harvest
Turned the waste to flame
Turned passing storms to power
And gave the streets new names
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] Remember
Rush-hour rage
The siren nights?
[low vocal register] Now gardens hum where engines cried
We’re walking home
On glowing stone
With stars above
And stars that grow inside
[Chorus]
