(Verse 1)
Dust motes dancing in the morning light
Another park boarded up, in the dead of the night
Chain-link fences, cold and tall
Building walls where we once stood tall
Used to gather, laugh and play
Now they tell us, "Go away!"
Public land, they claim to own
Leaving seeds of discontent sown
(Chorus)
Our green spaces, they're taking them all
Hear the people rising, standing up tall
For the freedom to breathe, for the right to roam
This is our city, this is our home!
From the concrete canyons to the old oak trees
We're singing for justice, carried on the breeze
No more silence, no more fear
The voice of the people, loud and clear!
(Verse 2)
The signs say "No Trespassing," stark and bold
A story of power, centuries old
They send the patrols, with their stern commands
Trying to break us with their heavy hands
But we remember picnics, and summer's sweet grace
Children's laughter echoing through the space
Now replaced by sirens, and the watchful eye
As dreams of community slowly die
(Chorus)
Our green spaces, they're taking them all
Hear the people rising, standing up tall
For the freedom to breathe, for the right to roam
This is our city, this is our home!
From the concrete canyons to the old oak trees
We're singing for justice, carried on the breeze
No more silence, no more fear
The voice of the people, loud and clear!
(Bridge)
They say it's for safety, for order and peace
But control is their motive, without any cease
They pave over nature, for profit and gain
Leaving our spirits in sorrow and pain
But a spark is igniting, a flame starts to grow
The seeds of rebellion, beginning to sow
For every fence broken, for every voice raised
A new future dawns, brightly emblazed
(Harmonica Solo)
(A soulful, melancholic harmonica melody, with a steady, driving acoustic guitar rhythm and a light, marching drum beat underneath, building in intensity to reflect growing determination before leading back to the chorus.)
(Chorus)
Our green spaces, they're taking them all
Hear the people rising, standing up tall
For the freedom to breathe, for the right to roam
This is our city, this is our home!
From the concrete canyons to the old oak trees
We're singing for justice, carried on the breeze
No more silence, no more fear
The voice of the people, loud and clear!
(Outro)
We will not be moved, we will not be swayed
For the parks are our own, a promise betrayed
Our green spaces, forever free!
Join the chorus, for liberty!
