The breeze brought the sound of A faucet someone had forgotten to turn off, echoing throughout the schoolyard As though something precious had been left draining away There’s something I’ve neglected in my heart too I knew that it wasn’t right, But I pretended not to see With all the time in the world and limitless potential, That’s where freedom lies
How many blue skies have there been? I’m sure you’re not counting them Even though the sun sets and rises again like every day, We’re forgetting something How many blue skies have there been? Don’t let your youth pass you by Even if you’re caught up in your own life, try looking up from time to time (at the cloudless sky) Don’t let the person you are right now go to waste
When I touched the water from the faucet, the chill woke me up The surging spray of water and the life I’d been given, Both felt heavy in my hands Even though you plan on doing something “someday” “Forever” is short
How many blue skies have there been? I’m sure you’re not counting them Even though the sun sets and rises again like every day, We’re forgetting something How many blue skies have there been? Don’t let your youth pass you by Even if you’re caught up in your own life, try looking up from time to time (at the cloudless sky) Don’t let the person you are right now go to waste
If you try closing your eyes, I’m sure you can hear it The sound of something you’ve left neglected Just like the sky, we aren’t always sunny
We don’t know when the next blue sky will be So look up at the sky now Start something you can do today I’m sure you’ll notice the next blue sky on your own Even if you’re tears are overflowing, the sun won’t blur (if you keep looking) It will make you even stronger
Live in the moment, even if time keeps flowing, I won’t be swept away
