The sun sets upon this beautiful lake
I’m amazed how fast it falls
There’s another day that’s come and gone
And another day I’ve lost
In the sadness of my memory
In the waves upon the water
I’ve realized that life’s too short
To be consumed by these negative thoughts
So blue skies come find me
Come free me from societal eyes
Blue skies come find me
I’ll be right here
The night is getting quiet
And my eyes a little red
This road that I am travelling on
It’s too dark to look ahead
When I look out all around me
I see tiny lights of hope
And these heavy weights upon my eyes
Makes it hard to see very clear
So blue skies come find me
Come free me from societal eyes
Blue skies come find me
I’ll be right here
So I’ll sit and let this peaceful night consume me
And let the salty water wash away my pain
In hopes that tomorrow when I wake up
I’ll be a better person
Tomorrow when I wake up, I’ll be changed
