Kendi - Heartbeat of the city lyrics

You fill that empty space And you let me in You let me breathe No I can't let go, need you so You're the heartbeat of my city I look west as I lay my city to rest Wonder how something so ugly can be the prettiest There's no dusty concrete No graffiti on the street No demands, no promises to keep Only dying light to guide the wander of my feet Orange, color of skies before it dies The brief moment between two worlds as they collide Stand as the witness of something equal to all And it hits hard It's hard to understand Soon it all catches up with you Orange merges into blue As the street lights go on And the night becomes another song for someone else to Sing It goes on and on and on, on and on On and on and on, on and on On and on and on, on and on Energy turns into paths of calm You fill that empty space And you let me in You let me breathe No I can't let go, need you so You're the heartbeat of my city Bus stop 2 A. M., rain pools at my feet The wet skies, the wet streets and wet eyes It all fast-forwards though I thought I pushed rewind Play it over in my head, who said what, when and why A breath of fresh air after smoke filled rooms Clear my head, watch the bus leave the curb Get up the lifeline of streets resuscitates me Step after step cease to hate what I've been lately You make things concrete for me It's less hard to feel pain, even when you're scarred Gaze at the street lights flicker and consider How can something free can be so valuable to me Both born to be rebuilt time after time As the rain keeps falling my spirits rise I'll go on and on and on, on and on Energy turns into paths of calm Kertosдe(2x)
