Wide Sky
Take your glasses off
See the wide wild sky
See the horizon that you have never seen
it is ever boxed by your faulty frames
guidelined by restriction
You can not really know it's name
You only see a part of life
And know not it's true fame
Better see it blurry than as a limited game
Your glasses frame the world
and yes
They let you see
but you miss the bigger picture
and that's no way to be
Take your glasses off and just smell the salted sea
It's like you never smelled before
and it's as if you have never seen
Take your glasses off and experience what it is to be
The sky is far far wider and the perspective
quite mind-blowing to me
Take your glasses off and walk quietly with me
Together we can find a new tomorrow
We can change who we maybe
We can walk hand in hand
and forget where it is that might be
We can forget our color
And just talk so openly
We'll speak only the of things we care
and never think of where we are
Until the angels up above
Remind us of true love
There will be no Putin
There will be no nuclear war
They'll only be this wide sky
and us being exactly who we are
