09 - Glitter and concrete

Every city has two faces. One that shines... and one that just survives. This one's got both. Glitter and concrete Glitter and concrete Shining on the broken street We're glitter and concrete, built to last Beautiful and broken, holding fast We're glitter and concrete, side by side Shining even when we try to hide Cracked sidewalks under dancing feet Neon signs above the empty street We turn the grey into a silver scene Make a diamond out of anything We're glitter and concrete, built to last Beautiful and broken, holding fast We're glitter and concrete, side by side Shining even when we try to hide Broken windows catching all the light Turning ruins into paradise tonight Every crack becomes a place to shine We were built for this, we're built to climb They said this town was falling to the ground But listen close, there's music in the sound Every corner has a story made of stone We turned the concrete into something of our own We're glitter and concrete, built to last Beautiful and broken, holding fast We're glitter and concrete, side by side Shining even when we try to hide Take the dust, we'll make it gold Take the cold, we'll make it bold This is home, cracked and bright Glitter and concrete, shining tonight Glitter and concrete Glitter and concrete Shining on the broken street Glitter and concrete
