[Verse 1]
Morning on the rooftop
Coffee in a chipped blue cup
Garden on the balcony
Little trees waking up
Skyline made of windows
Breathing in a softer light
Bikes paint quiet circles
Through the traffic that forgot to fight
[Chorus]
Green city of tomorrow
We’re building it today
Brick by brick
Small seed
Wide sky
We’re learning a new way
Green city of tomorrow
In the cracks
The flowers grow
We’re laying down the future
On the streets we think we know
[Verse 2]
Kids draw rivers on the pavement
Where the old gray gutters ran
Solar on the school roof
Catching daylight while it can
Neighbors share a garden gate
Lemons hanging low and bright
Old man on the corner says
“Didn’t think I’d live to see this sight”
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I remember all that smoke
All that hurry
All that noise
Now I hear my own heart
And a hundred laughing voices
If this is just the start
Then promise me we’ll stay
Plant another dream tonight
So it’s taller when we wake
[Chorus]
