(Verse 1)
The city’s rhythm, pulsating underfoot,
Drums of concrete, tell the stories they’ve been put.
Overhead, skyline spider webs of steel,
Within, a myriad of souls, so many stories to reveal.
(Chorus)
Carving dreams in the stone,
Ripples in the concrete jungle, where hearts are sewn.
Finding solace in the shadows of our making,
In the echoes of the city, an anthem of awakening.
(Verse 2)
A thousand faces, shifting like the tide,
In the city’s veins, they find a place to hide.
Steel towers reaching, yearning for the sky,
Underneath, the silent whispers of the life that passes by.
(Chorus)
Carving dreams in the stone,
Ripples in the concrete jungle, where hearts are sewn.
Finding solace in the shadows of our making,
In the echoes of the city, an anthem of awakening.
(Verse 3)
In the city’s pulse, the rhythm of the heart,
A symphony of life, where every beat’s a part.
In the shadows of the towers and the city’s glaring lights,
A million dreams are nurtured in the cover of the night.
