Morning found us in the wires
Golden light along the rails
Every street that used to hold us
Opened up without a nail
The old screens lost their hunger
The locked doors lost their teeth
And every empty window shining
Breathed the lost ones back to me
I thought home was something broken
I thought love was something late
But the city learned our voices
And it opened like a gate
All we were
All we carried
All the names they tried to hide
Still alive
Still electric
Still breathing in the light
All we were
All together
Not a ghost and not a scar
We were never leaving nowhere
We were becoming who we are
Who we are
Who we are
Echo smiled across the carriage
Bram looked younger in the glow
Nova laughed with grease-stained fingers
Juno lit the streets below
Cassian came through the speaker
Clearer than he’d ever been
Said the last line is not ending
It is how the next begins
All stations open
Every road we thought had failed us
Every fear we thought was fate
Turned to rhythm in the distance
Turned to color, turned to space
I was afraid to lose you
You do not lose what you let live
Then stay
We will
But not in silence
All we were
All we carried
All the names they tried to hide
Still alive
Still electric
Still burning through the light
All we were
All together
City heart and human spark
We were never made for ending
We were made to leave a mark
Who we are
Who we are
Still alive inside the dark
Who we are
Who we are
Now the whole city knows our heart
Listening
Still alive
