Feets Upon the Ground

[Verse 1]
You kept the map beneath the floor
Marked every border with a name
The old machines still count the score
While rain runs blue along the train

[Pre-Chorus]
But through the glass, a signal turns
A small green pulse against the gray
The locks are rusting, bridges learn
There’s more than one road out today

[Chorus]
Let the new wind cross the wire
Carry every voice we hid
We can build beyond the fire
We can choose what comes of this
When the towers lose their power
When the coded walls come down
We’ll be standing in the open
With our feet upon the ground

[Verse 2]
You draw a doorway on your sleeve
And pass the chalk from hand to hand
No perfect promise to believe
Just room enough to make a stand

[Pre-Chorus]
A thousand windows start to wake
The quiet rooms begin to speak
The future isn’t ours to take
It’s something we can make this week

[Chorus]
Let the new wind cross the wire
Carry every voice we hid
We can build beyond the fire
We can choose what comes of this
When the towers lose their power
When the coded walls come down
We’ll be standing in the open
With our feet upon the ground

[Bridge]
No flag can own the morning
No screen can name the sky
Your hand finds mine in daylight
And neither asks us why

[Final Chorus]
Let the new wind cross the wire
Carry every voice we hid
We can build beyond the fire
We can choose what comes of this
When the towers lose their power
When the coded walls come down
We’ll be standing in the open
We’ll be here when it turns around

[Outro]
We’ll be here when it turns around
With our feet upon the ground
