The asphalt

[Verse 1] The asphalt breathes a heavy sigh, beneath the city's golden glare. My spirit swayed, a kite untied, adrift in currents of thin air. I heard the murmurs, doubt’s cold bite, a shadow stretching in the sun. Then in the hush before the light, I knew my lonely run was done. [Chorus] Oh, devotion, beat my drum, set my weary soul alight! Devotion, feel it come, chase away the endless night! This steadfast heart, a guiding star, it lifts me from the deep below. Oh, devotion, near and far, watch this garden brightly grow! [Verse 2] A quiet strength, a weaver's hand, connecting threads of broken dreams. It builds a bridge across the sand, where desert silence fiercely screams. Like ancient rivers, deep and wide, it carves a pathway through the stone. With every pulse, it sets my stride, no longer walking this alone. [Chorus] Oh, devotion, beat my drum, set my weary soul alight! Devotion, feel it come, chase away the endless night! This steadfast heart, a guiding star, it lifts me from the deep below. Oh, devotion, near and far, watch this garden brightly grow! [Bridge] The truth unfurls like banners bold, above the storms I thought would cease. A story whispered, brave and old, a testament to inner peace. From fragile root to soaring vine, a strength I never knew I had. This holy current, yours and mine, it turns the bitter into glad. [Chorus] Oh, devotion, beat my drum, set my weary soul alight! Devotion, feel it come, chase away the endless night! This steadfast heart, a guiding star, it lifts me from the deep below. Oh, devotion, near and far, watch this garden brightly grow!
