City Day, Human Day Lyrics

Beneath the shining neon time stands still

The breath of machines halts for the day

In the streets the laughter of people echoes

Warm eyes meet after a long time

The smartphone halts at the fingertips

Instead of an empty screen warmth in held hands

The space free of noisy notifications

Here the true city day begins

City day human day

Put down technology embrace one another

Instead of data real stories flow

We've reclaimed the city's heartbeat

In the square music fills the air

On the murals the hands of children remain

The shopkeeper steps out to greet

A stranger becomes a friend in an instant

Instead of searching screens we follow footsteps

Stories bloom in every alley

A perfect day without machines

Here humans are the main characters

City day human day

Put down technology embrace one another

Instead of data real stories flow

We've reclaimed the city's heartbeat

All technology is for the people

All cities hold stories within

Even amidst convenience we must remember

To look into each other's eyes and call out names

City day human day

Put down technology embrace one another

Instead of data real stories flow

We've reclaimed the city's heartbeat

As today ends and technology is switched back on

We will remember this day

The true owner of the city is 'the people'

"A smart city is where people are at the center"
