[Intro]
Clockwork sun, a tinker's plan,
Gears hum soft where paper cranes began.
[Verse 1]
In a whimsy shop, sparks take flight,
Cranes unfold to greet the light,
Self-folding wings wake with a sigh,
They drift through streets beneath the sky.
[Pre-Chorus]
Time is ticking, the chase is on,
The city breathes as dawn moves on,
[Chorus]
Hold fast the moment, keep them in sight,
We thread the neon through fading light,
They'll fly away—one day, someday,
Together we race the clock tonight.
[Verse 2]
Over rooftops and the river's gleam,
We trail the cranes in a silver stream,
Across the plaza, a fluttering parade,
We mend the day before it starts to fade.
[Pre-Chorus]
Time tightens, the streets grow loud,
We chase their shadows through the crowd,
[Chorus]
Hold fast the moment, keep them in sight,
We thread the neon through fading light,
They'll fly away—one day, someday.
[Bridge]
Wind carries promises of calm,
A lullaby tucked in a paper psalm,
If we listen, the city sighs relief,
[Chorus]
Hold fast the moment, keep them in sight,
We thread the neon through fading light,
They'll fly away—one day, someday,
[Outro]
Last crane settles on a window glow,
The inventor smiles, hats off, hello,
The city hums a softer, safer show.
