lyrics

I see the light shine on your face
I watch your eyes light up with grace
It’s up to me...
to keep your sky pure, crystal clean
just like the dawn when you were born-
seemed like a dream...

It’s up to me to stand and fight
and carry on, and on, and on;
to save this earth I took for granted
for so long.
Or you will grow to take my place
when nothing’s left- I’m so ashamed
for you to have to see Another Sky
for you to have to dream
Another Sky.

You walk beneath a thousand stars
that light the path to who you are
if you can see with open eyes:
your world’s alive- we live as one-
when One is All
then you’ll be free...

It’s up to you to stand and fight
and carry on, and on, and on;
The wisdom learnt from my mistakes
will make you strong.
Or you will grow to take my place
when nothing’s left- I’m so ashamed
for you to have to see Another Sky
for you to have to see Another Sky
for you to have to dream
Another Sky
