Hidden Eden on the Roof

[Intro] Whispers in concrete, a map to the sun A stairwell sighs open, the city comes undone [Verse 1] Up a chipped ladder, past the rust and rain A rooftop garden blooms where strangers sigh in rain Potted secrets lean toward a hopeful light Green vines hum softly, turning gray into bright [Pre-Chorus] Footsteps slow, the hum of distant trains fades away In this pocket of quiet, I dare to stay [Chorus] Here, I find a pause in the pulse I know A hidden heartbeat where soft winds blow Temporary wings above the skyline’s edge A secret Eden where memories hedge [Verse 2] Old books breathe under a plank-made umbrella Beat-down coffee cups cradle stories mellow Sprouts peek through bricks, a small wild parade While sirens flicker far, our small haven stays unfrayed [Pre-Chorus] Breath deepens, the world recedes to a gentle blue For a moment, the city’s roar is something we outgrew [Chorus] Here, I find a pause in the pulse I know A hidden heartbeat where soft winds blow Temporary wings above the skyline’s edge A secret Eden where memories hedge [Bridge] If the door drops back to traffic, I’ll fold this into light Carry the scent of soil, the hush of silver night [Chorus] Here, I find a pause in the pulse I know A hidden heartbeat where soft winds blow Temporary wings above the skyline’s edge A secret Eden where memories hedge [Outro] When the city wakes, I’ll leave the quiet behind But I’ll carry the map, a compass in my mind
