Between Steel and Sky

The morning trains are running late I watch the faces at the

gate A thousand plans in borrowed coats A thousand words caught in

our throats

I used to hurry with the crowd Afraid to hear my thoughts

out loud

Now every step is mine to take

There is a life I get to make

There's a sky between the buildings There's a song beneath the noise

I can feel the world still turning

I can hear my own small voice Let the gold fall on

the pavement Let the rain run down my face

I'm alive inside this moment I don't have to win the race

The corner flower seller smiles She's seen me pass a hundred times

Today I stop and buy a stem And call a long-forgotten friend

The city hasn't changed its pace

But I have found a little space

I let the heavy hours unwind

And leave one empty chair behind

There's a sky between the buildings There's a song beneath the noise

I can feel the world still turning I can hear my own

small voice

Let the gold fall on the pavement Let the rain run down

my face

I'm alive inside this moment

I don't have to win the race

I was waiting for permission

For a sign to tell me when

Now I choose a new direction And I take the breath again

There's a sky between the buildings There's a song beneath the noise

I can feel the world still turning I can hear my own

small voice

Let the gold fall on the pavement Let the rain run down

my face

I'm alive inside this moment

I don't have to win the race

There's a sky between the buildings And today I see it change
