[Intro] [Verse] Old Man Miller got the calloused palms Planting seeds beneath the city’s psalms Tomato vines turning brittle gold Stories that the heavy shovels told Now the iron cranes are hovering Concrete blankets start the smothering Glass reflections on the broken fence Losing life to make a million cents [Chorus] Shadows falling on the sacred ground Steel and silver making not a sound Skyscrapers reaching for the sun Until the garden’s work is done But the roots are deeper than the floor Knocking on the developer’s door [Verse] Blueprints spread across a marble desk Urban beauty turned to grotesque They want a lobby where the basil bloomed Every petal in the ledger doomed Synthetic lights replace the morning dew Selling views that none of us can chew Displacing grandmas with the watering cans For luxury apartments and the master plans [Pre-Chorus] Can you smell the rain on hot asphalt? Is this progress or a grand assault? The soil remembers every single hand That tried to save this little piece of land [Chorus] Shadows falling on the sacred ground Steel and silver making not a sound Skyscrapers reaching for the sun Until the garden’s work is done But the roots are deeper than the floor Knocking on the developer’s door [Bridge] Dig your fingers in the dark earth Remember what the harvest’s worth Tear the fences down and plant again Sowing justice in the hearts of men [Verse] Vinyl crackle on a dusty beat Marching boots upon the summer street We won't let the green turn into gray Not another inch they take away From the rooftops to the empty lots Keep the spirit in the ceramic pots Heritage is more than glass and steel The hunger for the dirt is what is real [Chorus] Shadows falling on the sacred ground Steel and silver making not a sound Skyscrapers reaching for the sun Until the garden’s work is done But the roots are deeper than the floor Knocking on the developer’s door [Post-Chorus] Keep the seeds in your pocket Don't let the corporate profit lock it Keep the seeds in your pocket Don't let the corporate profit lock it [Outro]
