Build me like the city streets Strap my bones to solemn steel And give me an expression without inability
Prop me up like the towering buildings And bend my back to the labors of industry So that I might just understand What it means to hear the steel heart beat
Let these words go out from here and heal Let these voices reach and touch the meek Let the rhythm within my soul preserve And the minds amongst us finally meet
So that we could savor a moments peace So that we could pad the snow laden ground And meet where the steel heart slowly beats
For we are the blood within which seeps As we rise to the surface quietly Teeming with life and full of desire To actively ponder and passionately seek
To understand the truth within For we are a vessel most unique To reach the travelers of time And to mold such minds as they do sleep
For anytime such blood cells meet The steel heart surely can be heard In unison with every beat
Be it underneath these city streets Let such an expression be heard by more than me
