Skyline Prayer

Streetlights blink as the night unfolds

Rhythm in the gravel and the city cold

Notes from the sky playin’ soft and bold

Old soul speakin’ with a heart of gold

Lanterns low, I’m movin’ through the haze

Midnight hush, but my mind still plays

Crooked little path but I walk unfazed

Voices in the wind, they repeat my phrase

Lookin’ for the calm in a restless beat

Violin sings where the shadows meet

Footsteps blend in the pulse and heat

Whispers from the past in a distant street

Hear it rise from the cracks in stone

Flute cuts deep like a voice alone

March through the storm with a head held high

Waves in the dark, but I still get by

Heart in the bounce and my soul won’t lie

Every breath I take is a battle cry

Cool breeze twist with a faded smile

Moments drip slow through the broken dial

Chasing little sparks down a crooked mile

Truth hit hard but the flow stay vile

Paintin’ with words in a grayscale sky

No mask on, I ain’t here to try

Old flow tight with a youth supply

Dust in my lungs, but the flame won’t die

Hear it rise from the cracks in stone

Flute cuts deep like a voice alone

March through the storm with a head held high

Waves in the dark, but I still get by

Heart in the bounce and my soul won’t lie

Every breath I take is a battle cry

Time moves slow in the corners I roam

City got rhythm but it don’t feel home

Notes wrap tight like a threadbare poem

Drums in the chest and I ride that tone

Skyline pulse with a breathless hum

I don’t chase gold, I just move to the drum

Violin sharp and the bassline numb

I speak through the quiet like a war that’s won

Hear it rise from the cracks in stone

Flute cuts deep like a voice alone

March through the storm with a head held high

Waves in the dark, but I still get by

Heart in the bounce and my soul won’t lie

Every breath I take is a battle cry

Fade with the beat ‘til the night lets go

Steps on the edge where the old winds blow

Words in the rhythm and the past moves slow

Flute and violin tell the tale I know
