The Color of the Sky

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 the passage through [Verse 2] 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 bеneath the streets? When I was through I lit my lamp With somеthing soft and green and damp beneath my feet [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] 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
