Cloudless Skies II

There was a time, when we were young,
The world was a mystery, with songs unsung.

There was a time, when we stood tall,
Our faith was exultant, barriers would fall.

As I look out across this great landscape,
I see that my life is in a different shape;
The day has grown darker before my eyes,
I can only remember now those cloudless skies....

There was a place, chimera and gold,
A place we could come to, where dreams unfold.

There was a place, secret and still,
A place we would hide in, safe domicile.

As I look out across this grand plateau,
I live a life unlike the one I know;
The day has grown darker before my eyes,
I can only remember now those cloudless skies....

There was a future, I once beheld,
Thought I would be happy, desires quelled.

There was a future, glassy and clear,
As it comes up closer, it disappears.

As I peer across my tired savanna,
I stake out a life of absolute anathema;
The day grows darker, still, before my eyes,
I can only remember now those cloudless skies....
