Morning found us in the wires Golden light along the rails Every street that used to hold us Opened up without a nail The old screens lost their hunger The locked doors lost their teeth And every empty window shining Breathed the lost ones back to me I thought home was something broken I thought love was something late But the city learned our voices And it opened like a gate All we were All we carried All the names they tried to hide Still alive Still electric Still breathing in the light All we were All together Not a ghost and not a scar We were never leaving nowhere We were becoming who we are Who we are Who we are Echo smiled across the carriage Bram looked younger in the glow Nova laughed with grease-stained fingers Juno lit the streets below Cassian came through the speaker Clearer than he’d ever been Said the last line is not ending It is how the next begins All stations open Every road we thought had failed us Every fear we thought was fate Turned to rhythm in the distance Turned to color, turned to space I was afraid to lose you You do not lose what you let live Then stay We will But not in silence All we were All we carried All the names they tried to hide Still alive Still electric Still burning through the light All we were All together City heart and human spark We were never made for ending We were made to leave a mark Who we are Who we are Still alive inside the dark Who we are Who we are Now the whole city knows our heart Listening Still alive
