(short breaths) (coughing)
(slow
days)
Engines choke the air we breathe Tailpipes spit out smoke you can't
see
Tiny bits: metal dust,
acid
rain Pollutants that don't play fair
Not just clouds in the sky,
but inside your chest
Where lungs grow tight,
where hearts get stressed
Air heavy!
Air heavy!
From engines loud, it lingers deep Tiny sparks from every block They
grind your lungs, they strain your sleep Asthma flare?
Heart strain slow?
Shorter breaths, weaker days below?
This isn't just a distant cloud It's in your blood,
it's in your crowd!
PM two point five,
specks like ash Slip past your nose,
settle in the pass
Triggers wheeze,
worsens every strain Makes asthma worse,
slows recovery gain NOx and ozone twist the air
Turn simple steps into labor there
Kids with lungs still learning to fly Adults feel the chest tight
tonight
Now in your blood,
in how you rest
We don't need blame,
we need roots
Clean air starts where engines cut Shift to bikes,
or trains running quiet
Make the streets feel bright and right
Your breath is your rhythm and your song Protect it today,
where you belong
Air heavy!
Feel it now?
Your body says: This is too much Tiny sparks from every block
They grind your lungs,
they strain your sleep Asthma flare?
Heart strain slow?
Shorter breaths, weaker days below?
This isn't just a distant cloud It's in your blood,
it's in your crowd Air heavy!
Engines quiet? Air lifts One breath easier,
one step
further You're
the change in every line
Your health is the
beat that
never quits
