Sandy Springs

sand -> a shaker; edge-city office and civic hub

Lyrics

[Intro - 10 second instrumental, no vocals: sand rushing in a shaker, a beat building]

[Verse 1]
Glass towers humming where the Perimeter bends,
a city that grew where the old road ends;
not quite the country, not quite the town,
just sand through the hourglass, sifting down.

[Verse 2]
Sandy by name on the springs and the creeks,
a commuter tide that rises and peaks;
shake it like a maraca, let the rush-hour spill,
Sandy Springs running on a corporate thrill.

[Chorus]
Sandy Springs, Sandy Springs, hiss and shake,
the sand keeps moving for the city's sake;
rush, rush, rush through the glass and the gleam,
a north-side district running like a dream.

[Outro - instrumental, no vocals: the sand settling, the shaker fading]
