Morning Coffee, Tokyo

Early trains and paper cups

Steel and glass are waking up

Ties are straight, the streets are full

Tokyo moves beautiful

Crossing lights and crowded lanes

Sleepless nights still in my veins

Another day is starting fast

Trying not to let it pass

Then I turn a corner street

Soft piano, gentle beat

In a morning café in Tokyo

Just before the world takes control

Coffee warmth in my hands so slow

This little joy keeps me whole

Outside the clocks are chasing dreams

But right here time bends and stays

Just a breath before the rush

In this quiet morning haze

Window fog and rising steam

Sunlight cuts the city scene

Footsteps echo, phones all ring

But none of that means anything

Barista smiles, jazz on low

Bass line swinging nice and slow

For a moment I belong

To this calm before I’m gone

One more sip, I close my eyes

Let the city pass me by

In a morning café in Tokyo

Just before the world takes control

Coffee warmth in my hands so slow

This little joy keeps me whole

Outside the clocks are chasing dreams

But right here time bends and stays

Just a breath before the rush

In this quiet morning haze

Maybe happiness is found

Before the trains, before the sound

Not the goal, not the race

Just this place, this pace

In a morning café in Tokyo

Where the skyline meets the day

I’m ready now to face it all

Because I paused along the way

When I walk back to the street

With the crowd beneath my feet

I carry calm I didn’t know

From a morning café in Tokyo
