Raise your fist in the air
Stick your trowel in the ground
Get up, get down, shake it all around
Get your get on to the rock n roll sound
Shooting up like grass through the sidewalk
Eco-systems in the city streets
We're working our way through the gaps in the concrete
Busting open right beneath our feet
Oh! Can you see it? Whoah-oh!
The living city right before your eyes
Oh! Can you hear it? Whoah-oh!
Letting us know she's only in a new guise
There's no revolution
Until we touch the ground, reaching down to plant the seeds
We're tilling the soil
A garden for every fist!
Raise your fist in the air
Stick your trowel in the ground
Get up, get down, start it right now
Gotta get a move-on on the under ground
We've got a thousand rooftops here
Situated for a little salvation
And a million forgotten spaces
Calling out for some imagination
Oh! Can you feel it? Whoah-oh!
The naked city beneath the soles of your feet
Oh! Can you believe it? Whoah-oh!
A metro-paradise awaits at the end of the street
There's no revolution
Until we touch the ground, reaching down to plant the seeds
We're tilling the soil
A garden for every fist!
Take it now!
Above the underground
That's where you see us now
And this is our soundâ¦
I'm singin' all my people - c'mon, c'mon and get down!
Oh! Can you see it? Whoah-oh!
It rises amidst the flourishing foliage
Oh! Can you believe it? Whoah-oh!
We're working our way into a new age
There's no revolution
Until we touch the ground, reaching down to plant the seeds
There's no revolution
Without soiled hands
We're tilling the soil
A garden for every fist!
