Clear Skies

High on the bell tower I took my view Over the downtowns On the avenues Where the streets are wide And the people thrive And it's further to fall down 'Cause you fly so high I've never seen such beauty I've never seen such clear skies I've never seen such high hopes I've never seen such tired eyes And I wish that I could be Everything you are Everything you are Down in the delta The city wakes Turns on the TV As the levee breaks Where the streets are burned By the summer sun And there's nowhere to run to When your time has come I've never seen such beauty I've never seen such clear skies I've never seen such high hopes I've never seen such tired eyes Pulled the roots up piece by piece Felt life washing over me Took my pills and I went to sleep Oh, I sang myself to sleep And I wish that I could be Everything you are Everything you are And I wish that I could see The world the way you do As selfishly as you Yeah, and I wish that I could be Everything you are Everything you are And I wish that I could stick My faith the way you do As certainly as you Clear skies gonna fall on you Clear skies gonna fall on you Clear skies gonna fall on you On you On you Clear skies gonna fall on you Clear skies...
