Downtown plant, living in my downtown world
I bet it never had a grounded plant like me
I bet its world never got that earthy and green
I’m just a downtown plant, taking care of my roots
But I’ve got one desire and that’s to reach for the sky
To join that uptown plant, so elegant and high
Uptown plant, it’s living in its uptown soil
It’s got a taste for light, and a need for air
It’s got that elegance, that I just can’t compare
And when it sees me down here, it might look right through me
But someday I’ll find a way to make it see
That I can grow as tall, and as strong as a tree
Uptown plant, I’ll grow up to be with you
I’ll find a way to climb, and make it to your side
And together we’ll bloom, in our love and our pride
And now I’m feeling the sun, and I’m drinking the rain
And my roots are spreading out, as I break through the pain
And I know that someday, I’ll be there with you
Uptown plant, I’m coming for your uptown world
I’ve grown so strong and tall, and I’ll reach for your hand
Together we’ll grow, in our love and our land
Downtown plant, it’s now an uptown plant too
With its love by its side, in their uptown world
They’re living and thriving, as their love unfurls
