Open Up the Sky

i saw that bird again today
it sang a lovely song to me
i think it knows the way to happiness
i’ll listen carefully
it, it told me sing, it told me to fly
so i smiled and opened up the sky
i went sailing above the trees
and the streets that we lived on the other day
and i’m sorry about the rest of you
the ground got the best of you now
the best of you now
i kept the secret safe in the safest place i knew
i buried it underground and then the grass grew
up, high towards to sky, longing to fly
the grass would finally know what it’s like to be alive let’s go
sailing above the trees
and the streets that we lived on the other day
and i’m sorry about the rest of you
the ground got the best of you now
the best of you now
open your eyes, learn how to fly
let the wind take you, let them all lie
