[Verse 1] [M] Sun up on the fire escape, I paint my plan in the air [F] You hear that bus brake sigh, and still we’re smiling out there [M] Backpack full of sketches, little hope in a folded page [F] Mama said, "Keep your eyes up when you walk through the cage" [M] So I count every window like a rung on the way [F] Every block got a pulse, every face got a say [M] Corner store dream, warm bread, cold drink [F] Two kids with a vision and a lot more than they think [Pre-Chorus] [M] We could be bigger than the block [F] Bigger than the doubts they talk [M] Bigger than the rent on the floor [F] Bigger than the ash on the porch [Chorus] [M] City dreams, city dreams [F] We keep it bright in the in-between [M] City dreams, city dreams [F] Hands in the air, we make it gleam [M] City dreams, city dreams [F] Nothing too far when you believe [M] City dreams, city dreams [F] We take the streets and we weave our scene [Verse 2] [F] Late train hum and a paper cup crown [M] We step through the crowd like we own this town [F] Not rich, just ready, with a grin and a grind [M] A little bit of fire and a whole lot of time [F] I got a map in my pocket, you got rhythm in your stride [M] Every wrong turn taught us how to ride [F] From the laundromat lights to the roofline blue [M] What they call impossible, we call true [Bridge] [M] If the night gets heavy, I’ll carry your spark [F] If the road gets shaky, we’ll light the dark [M] Every little setback [F] Only makes us sing back [Chorus] [M] City dreams, city dreams [F] We keep it bright in the in-between [M] City dreams, city dreams [F] Hands in the air, we make it gleam [M] City dreams, city dreams [F] Nothing too far when you believe [M] City dreams, city dreams [F] We take the streets and we weave our scene
