Orion Lyrics

The sky is angry, she thought to herself

Watching the lightning strike the earth

Big thoughts for a child, underneath a patchwork quilt

Tucked in the attic on her perch

She had wondered if the grass knew that one day the snow would melt

And she wondered if Orion could hold the sky without his belt

Stories of gods and mortals end in tragedy

Tales of titans with ambitions too vast, coming to terms with mortality

They're all cautionary tellings for the dreamers who lie awake

But what they fail to realize is with every fall from grace

There's a new constellation to be seen

Orion, Orion, oh could it be

We're just like you?

She cried, "Orion, why am I cursed with such big hopes?"

He said, "They're not too big to do"

The sky is angry, she thought to herself

And I am feeling angry too

Oh, on a clear night she could recognize him anywhere

But when the clouds come in, can a child know

That the stars are still shining there?

Stories of gods and mortals end in tragedy

Tales of titans with ambitions too vast, coming to terms with mortality

They're all cautionary tellings for the dreamers who lie awake

But what they fail to realize is with every fall from grace

There's a new constellation to be seen

Orion, Orion, oh could it be?

We're just like you

Sweet child of the wilderness, as you scream and cry

Please don't stop giving love, love can take and change your life

Look into the mourning sun that sets without you every night

One day you'll be there beside him, shining, burning bright

Look up, child

Look to the wild

Look up, child

Oh look inside

Stories of gods and mortals end in tragedy

Tales of titans with ambitions too vast, coming to terms with mortality

They're all cautionary tellings for the dreamers who lie awake

But what they fail to realize is with every fall from grace

There's a new constellation to be seen

Orion, Orion, oh could it be?

We're just like you

Burning in the sky like you

Hmmm we're just like you
