[Intro]
Marseille, Paris, Lille… boom
I cross the country as the lights all bloom
Breathe in slow… feel the room
The journey starts, we rise and zoom (yeah)
[Verse 1]
I travel through a land that feels like paradise
Moving through the cities with a free mind and eyes
End of the hippie dream, masked puppy in the night
I drop the uniform and step into my light
A silver lock still tied to chains I wear
I dream of a world where love is everywhere
From peace into passion, carried by the lift of air
I taste new mornings in the cold night glare
[Chorus]
Across the hexagon, I’m waking up
Every border like a paper cup
Folded maps in a torn backpack
Heart on the dash, never looking back
Across the hexagon, I’m cutting loose
Every station is a different truth
Face in the window, eyes on fire
Riding this rail through my desire (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Graffiti prayers under overpass bones
Laughter in a language stitched to cobblestones
Old scars fading in the café glass
I leave little ghosts in the towns I pass
Posters peeling on the metro wall
Somebody’s anthem, somebody’s fall
I trade my fear for a crooked smile
Carry my past for a couple more miles
[Chorus]
Across the hexagon, I’m waking up
Every border like a paper cup
Folded maps in a torn backpack
Heart on the dash, never looking back
Across the hexagon, I’m cutting loose
Every station is a different truth
Face in the window, eyes on fire
Riding this rail through my desire (oh-oh)
[Bridge]
From peace into passion
From quiet to loud
From hiding in corners
To dancing through crowds
Silver lock in my pocket
Chains rust in the rain
Every city I roll through
Burns one more link from the chain
[Chorus]
Across the hexagon, I’m waking up
Every border like a paper cup
Folded maps in a torn backpack
Heart on the dash, never looking back
Across the hexagon, I’m almost new
Every sunrise paints a different you
Face in the window, soul in bloom
The journey starts, we rise and zoom (yeah)
