[Verse 1]
Kids ride past on painted bikes
Vines climb up the traffic lights
Rooftop gardens
Laundry lines
Sidewalk chalk with wild designs
[Chorus]
In the green city of tomorrow
We’re planting back what we borrowed
Breathing easy
We finally see
What this home could be
Green city of tomorrow
From every crack things grow
We’re building slow
Steady
And small
Till the trees stand tall
[Verse 2]
Solar panels on the school
Buses hum
The engines cool
Cafes spilling onto grass
Rain in barrels
Glass in glass
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Street parade of secondhand clothes
Trading seeds like secret codes
[low vocal register] “We’re the future” on a cardboard sign
We’re right on time
[Chorus]
