Lyrics
The Sky is Waiting
© 1997; 2007 Michael D. Ingalls
V I
So you're leaving... There's nothing more I can do
My heart is grieving 'cause I've built my world around you
You were the river that made my valley green
The oasis in the desert of my dreams (but)
Chorus:
Go if you must go; Fly if you must fly
And somehow Ill find the strength to say 'goodbye'
'Cause I could never be the chain around your feet
Look, the sky is waiting; Go on, fly!
V II
You've set your eyes on that road to fortune and fame (and)
That new horizon is softly calling your name
I pray that you may find the pathway back one day
But I can't change your mind by standing in your way
CHORUS
Bridge:
You're chasing rainbows that only you can see
And where they lead you I may never know
But if they mean as much to you as you mean to me
Then I understand why you have to go
V III
(So) I'll cut the tether - you're free to go without strings
And if dreams are feathers you'll fly on beautiful wings
This life is fleeting; But if we dare to heed the call
Those wings are beating somewhere in us all
CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
