lyrics

But I insisted “I need something positive now. There must be something good.”
Mom just sighed, looked up and said... “The sky is blue.”


I’M HERE MOM
DON'T FEAR MOM
I’M ASKING YOU TO TRY
I KNOW THAT YOU’RE TROUBLED
AND CLEARLY SO AM I
THE SKY, MOM, YOU SEE IT
IT’S REAL STUFF GOD HAS MADE
SO LOOK THERE AND TELL ME
HOW CAN YOU BE AFRAID?
WE WILL STEP ON THE HEAD OF THE TINIEST PIN
TELL ME MOM, ARE YOU IN?

FILL THIS SPACE, PACKED WITH CLOUDS IN EACH MOMENT
WE’LL PACK EACH MOMENT
WE’RE SAFE NOW, BY STANDING IN SPACE NOW, YOU AND I
OUR WORLD MAY BE CRUMBLING BUT WE STILL HAVE THE SKY
THE SKY IS BLUE
THE SKY IS BLUE.


SO MUCH RAGE IN MY CORE THAT I CAN’T FEEL THE FLOOR
SEE ME DROWNING IN THIS FLOOD?
IF YOU SCARE WITH YOUR SCREAMS
THEN YOU’LL TEAR AT MY SEAMS
AND I TELL YOU: THIS IS MY BLOOD
SO BE KIND, PLEASE AND REMIND ME
PLEASE

PART OF THIS IS FURY WHEN YOUR SCREAM MAKES NO SOUND
PART OF THIS IS SHAKING BOTH YOUR FISTS AT THE GROUND
WHEN THE DAMN CLOCK WON’T BUDGE
AND THE WORLD IS UNFAIR
AND YOU’RE SCREAMING AT GOD
‘CAUSE YOU KNOW HE’S NOT THERE

WE’RE STUCK MOM, LIKE THIS, MOM, IF YOU CAN’T HOLD A LIE
THERE’S LIGHT, MOM, SO FIGHT, MOM
AND TALK ABOUT THE SKY
THE SKY IS BLUE - IT WILL BE BLUE
IF YOU TELL ME, IT WILL BE BLUE
JUST FOR ME MOM, DON'T ASK WHY MOM
FOR THIS INSTANT, TRY TO FAKE IT


YOU GO FIRST MOM
SEE THE SKY MOM
TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD – I’LL TAKE IT
GOOD, GOOD, TELL ME SOMETHING
TELL ME THE SKY IS BLUE.
