The Color Of The Sky

My first and foremost memory
Was staring up and wonder at the wall
It circumscribed a city
It said beyond it, nothing dwells 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
And as I made my plans
My head would spin and swiftly dance between the white
While 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?
Whеn I was through, I lit my lamp
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
Brilliance overwhelms me
Leaves me wondering what 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
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
