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 a 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 levy breaks



Where the streets are burned

From the hot summer sun

And there's nowhere to run to

When your time has come



I've never seen such a 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 like life was watching over me

Take my pills and went to sleep

Oh, and 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



Oooh



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.
