The Secret of the Open Sky Lyrics

Clawing up the deep black well

Toward a shaft of light above

One canary climbs the coalmine

Gone to mingle with the doves

Is there anybody there?

Bloodied fingers, broken nails

Muscles shaking from the climb, but

Soon I'll reach the space to spread these clipped wings and

Sing the strongest song of all time

Is there anybody there?

Hello, is there anybody there?

Bathed in sunlight, I reach the world

So bright yellow I can barely see

I release my melody to these clear skies

But it seems no one is listening to me

Is there anybody there?

Hello, is there anybody…

There, there, don't you cry. It's a secret everybody sees eventually

Said the old man deep inside

The secret of the open sky, where the stars at night are shining bright with promise and such purpose

Is how everyone competes for a feeling of completeness – it's so cold here on the surface

We are prisoners of our dreams for we're taught to gauge the meaning of the song by fame and fortune

You see that scene that called your soul? It's commercially controlled to hold the wealth out of proportion

Seldom now a day goes by without one more implication I am useless and unwanted

In this scene that's seen it all (if we need you we will call) as I'm stuck – all progress stunted

Bloodied fingers, broken nails

Muscles aching from the fall

Every day another little piece of me dies and now I

Sing the strangest song of them all

Is there anybody there?

Hello, is there anybody…

Hello, is there anybody…

Hello, is there anybody…
