Sanctuary City
I wonder what they'll build next here
And what our block will look like this time next year
I bet I don't recognize it
I bet I don't recognize it
I'm on the subway with my arms up
Half for space, half in expression of "enough is enough"
You splurge on a cab, we kiss in the back seat
And for a second we forget that there's
So many other things to be
(Than searching for a sanctuary city)
There's so many other things to be
Than searching for a sanctuary
Overripe west side summer sun setting
Splitting earbuds on the bus
Carole King and Otis Redding
And I, I try to be tender
I try to be kind and remind myself that
There is such quiet grace in
Private moments in public spaces
We sing on stolen ground and borrowed time
And for a second we forget that there's
So many other things to be
(Than searching for a sanctuary city)
There's so many other things to be
(Than searching for a sanctuary city)
There's so many other things to be
Than searching for a sanctuary city
There's so many other things to be
Wrote a note and a song
For goodness with no agenda
May we map our palms to the landscape
May we till this ground forever
There's a landscape coming into focus
Eyes locked on a figure in the distance
Remember to remember
It's easy to forget that there's
So many other things to be
(Than searching for a sanctuary city)
There's so many other things to be
Than searching for a sanctuary city, yeah
Than searching for a sanctuary city
