Lyrics: José Leandro Simoni Pujiz
Music: José Leandro Simoni Pujiz
[Verse 1]
He sits in the back of a quiet car
White suit, no tie, sleeves rolled once
City pays its rent through his open palm
Nobody sees the hand, just the cost
He eats dinner alone at a long wood table
Steak cut slow, like he’s counting sins
One nod and a bridge disappears
One call and a mayor begins again
[Chorus]
Heavy man, light touch
Everything breaks when he says “enough”
You don’t hear the hammer, you feel the dust
Heavy man, light touch
[Verse 2]
Elevator climbs with no sound at all
Ninety floors up, still no sky
He signs papers with a fountain pen
Ink worth more than the lives it buys
[Chorus]
Everything breaks when he says “enough”
You don’t hear the hammer, you feel the dust
Heavy man, light touch
Kids on the corner sell what he allows
Cops look down when he walks by
He never raises his voice above a murmur
Graves still open on time
He keeps a single photo in a drawer
Younger face, smaller hands
Some nights he almost remembers
Then the city knocks and he stands
[Chorus]
Heavy man, light touch
Everything breaks when he says “enough”
You don’t hear the hammer, you feel the dust
Heavy man, light touch
Heavy man, light touch
Everything breaks when he says “enough”
You don’t hear the hammer, you feel the dust
Heavy man, light touch
