Lyrics
Torn Blue Sky
your heart has opened up your eyes
there?s no more falling back to sleep
now you?re awake inside this dream
that you?ve been dreaming in so deep
so whatcha gonna do next?
don?t you leave it all to fate
it is however you say it is
so brother, say it?s not too late?
and sing from your heels
up to the torn blue sky
dance your dance on broken glass
dance into the fire while the fire?s high
the pain will pass, the pain will pass
?cause all that counts is living true
to the yearning of your heart
let it have its way with you
and you?ll burn bright as a shooting star
?cause that is what you are
so sing from your heels
up to the torn blue sky
dance your dance on broken glass
dance into the fire while the fire?s high
the pain will pass, the pain will pass
until then sing it to the silver moon
and sweat it out like sin
shake it off like a dream that wakes you
it?s time now to begin?
