[Intro]
Footsteps on the noon-slick street.
Steam halos lanterns, I pause to breathe.
[Verse 1]
Crosswalk lights blink in patient silver.
A tote clinks, a violin of everyday motion.
I tilt my gaze to catch the slow heartbeat of town.
[Chorus]
In the rush I slow my own pulse to feel,
the quiet hum of life beneath the wheel.
I find calm where the sidewalk widens and heals.
[Verse 2]
A cyclist glides by, a rumor of blue,
a bus sighs out its morning chorus.
I breathe in the momentum and let it drift.
[Chorus]
In the rush I slow my own pulse to feel,
the quiet hum of life beneath the wheel.
I find calm where the sidewalk widens and heals.
[Bridge]
The city speaks in small pauses and glints,
and I answer with a slower breath and grin.
Even in motion, a soft harbor begins.
[Chorus]
In the rush I slow my own pulse to feel,
the quiet hum of life beneath the wheel.
I find calm where the sidewalk widens and heals.
[Outro]
Walk on, carrying the calm through the crowd.
The street keeps time, and I keep listening.
