[Verse 1] By 2055 The buses run on sun My mama’s old block Got gardens on the roof Kids with their backpacks Crossing through the dew And every door knows A name, not a number [Pre-Chorus] We keep the lights on With hands in the same sky No one gets left behind When we all decide [Chorus] Tell me what we’ll be By 2055 Tell me what we’ll be When we choose it right Hearts on the wire Hands in the sky Tell me what we’ll be By 2055 [Verse 2] I can see clinics In the corner store Grandpa walks in And he’s gone in an hour Farmers in the winter Sending food by drone And the old flood wall Learning how to grow [Pre-Chorus] We keep the lights on With hands in the same sky No one gets left behind When we all decide [Chorus] Tell me what we’ll be By 2055 Tell me what we’ll be When we choose it right Hearts on the wire Hands in the sky Tell me what we’ll be By 2055 [Bridge] Maybe we trade fear For a better plan Maybe we teach young How to heal with their hands Maybe we stop asking Who gets the chance And start building doors Wide enough for all of us [Final Chorus] Tell me what we’ll be By 2055 Tell me what we’ll be When we choose it right Hearts on the wire Hands in the sky Tell me what we’ll be By 2055 Tell me what we’ll be By 2055
