[Verse 1] Morning slips in through the blinds, Painting blue across the floor. I rub the sleep out of my eyes And pull my little sneakers on. My helmet stays upon the shelf, My heavy gloves can rest today. The door slides open to the breeze, And I let it lead the way. [Pre-Chorus] The sky is clear, The light is green. There’s nowhere else I have to be. [Chorus] There are no alarms today, No one’s calling out my name. With my weapons fast asleep, I race along the bright blue streets. I don’t have to fight today. A little journey is enough. I help a fallen friend back up, Then take the long way home at dusk. [Verse 2] The monorail rolls overhead Like a toy across the sky. A cleaning robot hums a tune While sweeping little clouds of dust. I jump into a shining puddle, Send the sunlight flying high. Startled birds rise from the rooftops, So I spread my arms and run. [Pre-Chorus] The clouds move slow, The wind feels light. My only mission is to smile. [Chorus] There are no alarms today, No one has to run or hide. I walk beside the quiet town And wander down its little lanes. I don’t have to be a hero. Being just a kid’s enough. I guide a lost dog safely home, Then follow sunset through the streets. [Bridge] Underneath an old park bench, A little metal bird is shaking. I tighten one forgotten screw And hear its tiny motor waking. I watch it rise into the blue Until it fades beyond my view. The warmth it leaves upon my hands Feels almost like a heartbeat too. [Final Chorus] There are no alarms today. Even the sky is smiling down. The quiet heart inside my chest Begins to sing a softer sound. I don’t have to fight today. Maybe this is what peace means: Someone making it safely home, And knowing we will meet again. There are no alarms tonight. Starlight settles on the road. With my helmet held against my chest, I take small steps and wander home. [Ending] Good night, little robot town. I’ll see you when the sun comes round.
