Thrice - The Color of the Sky lyrics

My first and foremost memory Is staring up in wonder at the wall It circumscribed the city They said beyond it nothing dwelt at all But I Came to wonder if the stories all were true So one night I made my mind up I resolved that I would find a passage through And as I made my plans My head would spin and swiftly dance between the whys Like why the roads were all dead ends Why we'd no word to name the color of the sky And why Did these tunnels lead me deep beneath the streets? When I was through I lit my lamp With something soft and green and damp beneath my feet And I don't know the way But I know That I belong out here On this journey that I never thought I'd make Setting out Across a new frontier A new horizon with each eager step I take As the stars begin to fade I stride to meet the breaking day and breathe it in It rakes over my tongue So crisp and cool inside my lungs, against my skin And I See the colors burst and bloom beneath the dawn The brilliance overwhelms me Leaves me wondering what new world I'm even on And I don't know the way But I know That I belong out here On this journey that I never thought I'd make Setting out Across a new frontier A new horizon with each eager step I take I don't know the way But I know That I belong out here On this journey that I never thought I'd make Setting out Across a new frontier A new horizon with each eager step I take
