Matthew Good - Blue Skies Over Bad Lands lyrics

What if you woke up in the middle of the night And in your bare feet you walked outside And realizing that you were awake that you could fly Out over the world To places that you've only heard of See faces that you were sold as murderers But just like you they're only lonely boys and girls Like all over the world What if you could lift them up? What if you could make it so that times weren't tough? So ever morning when the world woke up There'd only be weather on the news And what if you were back in bed With one of them floating over your head What do you say to your enemies When you don't know what it is that could have been between you? There ain't no blue skies over bad lands Even if it ain't raining in the mornings But you don't need to fly to understand it Just understand understanding
