lyrics

You stand alone
As you always stood
What they all wanted
Being who you should
The world took control
Before you could
Making all the rules
For a child misunderstood

Chorus:
But remember
Others found you, long ago
In the valley, deep below
And they took you, up on high
To show how near was the blue sky
To show how clear was the blue sky

But the world goes on
And you forgot
The power you were given
To reclaim your destined lot
And the pain gnaws away
At the visions that you have
‘Til nothing seems left
But a spirit worn and sad

Chorus:
But remember
Others found you, long ago
And showed you light,
that you might know
And they took you, up on high
To show how near was the blue sky
To show how clear was the blue sky

Far away seems the day
When they came though
Lost in innocent memory
Far away seems the way
That they showed
Lost in worldly propriety

Though life seems hard
It would be well not to forget
The ways of the wise
And the wisdom they protect
And though the truth is ever veiled
For true eyes to see
It lies within us all
A gift from them to you and me

Chorus:
Those who found you long ago
And showed you light, that you might know
Those who took you, up on high
Those who made you the blue sky
Those who gave you the blue sky Blue sky
