It's a long way up to the lights above
Around the block again to the bus stop
Picking up abuelo
Fresh fruit and cheap t-shirts
Pretty lights under an umbrella sky
Hold Mom's hand and stand real close
It's almost time
Taking the bus to reading terminal
Lonely midweek city goes
Flashing past the plastic windows
Taking the bus to reading terminal
Picking up on a street corner
No place to stop
I hear my name and look around
Walking fast on dirty sidewalks
Taking the bus from reading terminal
It's a long way but no way else to go
Taking the bus from reading terminal
From one home to another we ride
Different sights but feels the same inside
Childhood places you never forget
Discount crayons and chocolate
Exploration in liminal spaces
Bus riding, street scraping cars
As the street lights flash outside
Sunset into a fading sky
Taking the bus from reading terminal
Taking the bus to reading terminal

Vivid picture. I'm now curious about reading terminal.
