On My Way Downtown - MONGYEON
On my way down
On my way downtown
Morning on my shoulders
Coffee in my hand and the day is getting closer
Train wheels hum beneath the street
Sunlight waking up the beat
Office windows turn to gold
Stories rising still untold
Taxi colors drift and gleam
Half awake and half in dream
Every signal, every turn
Gives me something new to learn
Red light, slow time
Hold me for a while, deep breath
One step, another mile
Street signs, blue sky
Open up a smile
On my way downtown
Moving with the morning
Every little corner has a different kind of warning
Fast enough to stir the air
Soft enough to take me there
On my way downtown
Following the sunlight
Turning all the city noise into rhythm just right
In the rush I find the sound
Of my feet on downtown ground
Headphones low and blazer sleeves
Little plans I still believe
Paper cups and leather bags
Crosswalk lights and train line maps
Someone laughing to themselves
Someone reaching for the rails
In the crowd I start to see
The day unfolding next to me
Green light, walk on
Feel the current rise, warm gold
Glass reflecting in my eyes
This town right now feels like a surprise
On my way downtown
Moving with the morning
Every little corner has a different kind of warning
Fast enough to stir the air
Soft enough to take me there
On my way downtown
Following the sunlight
Turning all the city noise into rhythm just right
In the rush I find the sound
Of my feet on downtown ground
Between the traffic and the steam
I can hear my waking dream
Not a race and not too slow
Just enough to let it grow
Every crossing, every sign
Says this day could still be mine
And the city looks so wide
With the whole world by my side
On my way downtown
Carrying me much farther
Every avenue is singing just a little smarter
Every footstep finds a place
Every stranger leaves a trace
On my way downtown
Golden in the daylight
Making all the motion feel like maybe this is my time
In the rush I come alive
With the skyline in my eyes
Coffee cools, the light stays near
Morning's music still is clear
On my way downtown
I can feel the day begin
On my way downtown
