Downtown 8AM - MONGYEON
It ain't in the city sun
Golden lines across the dawn
Paper cup and moving feet
Downtown waking to the beat
Subway stairs and traffic lights
Glass reflections silver whites
Taxi shadows cross the rain
Morning rush begins again
Jackets brushing past my arm
Cold air turning soft in warm
Every signal pulls me through
Like the streets already knew
Red light light
Hold on
One more second then
Deep breath
Stepping
Morning in the air
Street sounds
Skyline
Call me anywhere
Downtown 8AM
Running with the daylight
Every window catching little pieces of life
Fast enough to wake the soul
Soft enough to lose control
Downtown 8AM
Coffee in the sunlight
Crosswalks turning all the noise into the right time
In the rush I find my name
Written in the city rain
Written in the city rain
Office doors and train line maps
Jeans folded in leather bags
Someone laughing on the phone
Someone moving on alone
Blue above the avenue
Spring comes shining softly through
All the noise becomes a song
And somehow I sing along
Green light
Moving now
Feel the current rise
Bright signs
Warm gold
Flickering in my eyes
This town
This hour
Feels so alive
Downtown 8AM
Running with the daylight
Every window catching little pieces of life
Fast enough to wake the soul
Soft enough to lose control
Downtown 8AM
Coffee in the sunlight
Crosswalks turning all the noise into the right time
In the rush I find my name
Written in the city rain
Between the towers and the steam
I can hear my quiet dream
Turning louder with each mile
Holding in a stranger's smile
Every corner every lane
Washes clean the sleepless gray
And for a moment I can see the whole day opening for me
Downtown 8AM
Shining through the skyline
Making all the fast paced motion feel like perfect timing
Every footstep finds a groove
Every heart has room to move
Downtown 8AM
Bright against the blue sky
Paper cup and hope held gently on the inside
In the rush I come alive
Like the whole world just arrived
8AM I'm on my way
Light is pouring through the gray
Downtown singing clear and true
Like the morning asks me to
Downtown 8AM
Downtown 8AM
