Wakeful Lullaby

[Intro] Laughter spills from neon rivers, feet tapping in rain-washed streets A pocket of hush tucked in the corner of a crowded, restless beat [Verse 1] I walk through a city stitched with lights and sighs Gathering little words like postcards slipping from strangers' eyes A chorus of brief hello, a rumor of goodbyes I stitch them into a lullaby that wakes the night with skies [Chorus] Tiny moments, bright and small Weaving strangers' voices into one call Wakeful lullaby under buzzing glow Kindness in the quiet, where connections grow [Verse 2] A coffee steam halos a whispered memory new A child’s chalk sketch on concrete, a promise held in view I pocket every fragment for a moment or two And lay them down like constellations guiding me through [Pre-Chorus] If only for a second the city slows its pace I hear a heartbeat in footsteps, a soft, recorded grace [Chorus] Tiny moments, bright and small Weaving strangers' voices into one call Wakeful lullaby under buzzing glow Kindness in the quiet, where connections grow [Bridge] Maybe we’re postcards we send to ourselves Fragments of strangers become stories we tell A slow sunrise between two strangers who stayed a while Finding each other in the lining of a crowded mile [Chorus] Tiny moments, bright and small Weaving strangers' voices into one call Wakeful lullaby under buzzing glow Kindness in the quiet, where connections grow [Outro] So I walk on, pockets full of light and lore The city hums a dream I’m living for
