[singer A] Boots hit the crosswalk slow Rain on a takeout bag Sleeves rolled up to the elbow You got that look they need when they drag One busted street sign glows You read it like a map Every hard face in the cold Turns around when you step back [transition] [singer A] You don’t ask for a crown You just show up now When the whole block bends You stand up straight and loud City Night Hero You pull us through City Night Hero When the dark comes through You light the busted windows With a broken-heart truth City Night Hero Yeah, we look to you (to you) [melodic transition] [singer B] I woke up slow To a mango sky Bare feet on the tile And a grin in my eye The kettle sang out From the corner stove Even the morning Seemed to move in slow Breeze on my face Door wide open Little green leaves Keep on swayin' I got one sweet day I'm holdin' close And I let it ride Where the warm wind goes Easy now, easy now Let the good tide roll Easy now, easy now Feel it in your soul Oh, sweet day Stay a little while Easy now, easy now Bring me back that smile [transition] [singer A] You got a scar on your knuckle From a door you held last June You shared your last five dollars With a kid outside the noodle shop booth The buses hiss and leave You stay another round While the tired and the lost Find their way back downtown You don’t need the noise You don’t need the praise You just turn that fear Into a better day City Night Hero You pull us through City Night Hero When the dark comes through You light the busted windows With a broken-heart truth City Night Hero Yeah, we look to you (to you) [instrumental] [singer B] If the rain come down Let it wash the road We can still keep moving With a lighter load One good breath One kind hand One little song And the whole world can stand Easy now, easy now Let the good tide roll Easy now, easy now Feel it in your soul Oh, sweet day Stay a little while Easy now, easy now Bring me back that smile
