[verse 1]
Dawn on wire, roofs at rest
Rain like code against my chest
Empty streets and humming poles
Carry heat from borrowed souls
Billboards pale, their faces clean
Echoes fade to evergreen
We unroll the quiet sky
Let the open answer why
[pre-chorus]
If they cut, we find a seam
If they hush, we tune the beam
[chorus]
Open air—let it rise
Free the heart behind the eyes
All we saved and all we shared
Breath to breath, the city aired
Open air—hold the tone
No one left to stand alone
Name by name, from night to fair—
We belong to open air
[verse 2]
Hands that shook now steady bright
Passing light to make more light
Every secret, every care
Turned to art in common air
We are not the crowns they fear
We are signal drawing near
When the dark forgets our names
Play the proof in living flames
[pre-chorus]
If they cut, we find a seam
If they hush, we tune the beam
[chorus]
Open air—let it rise
Free the heart behind the eyes
All we saved and all we shared
Breath to breath, the city aired
Open air—hold the tone
No one left to stand alone
Name by name, from night to fair—
We belong to open air

[bridge]
No more thrones and no more gates
Just the pulse that resonates
If we vanish, sing this part—
Turn the city into heart
[final chorus]
Open air—let it rise
Free the truth beneath the lies
All we saved and all we shared
Breath to breath, the city aired
Open air—hold the tone
Make the many into one
When you doubt, repeat this prayer—
We remain in open air
