Never seen a bluer sky
Yeah I can feel it reaching out
And moving closer
There's something about blue

No I couldn't answer

CHORUS
(Note: judging from both the studio and live recordings of the song, the guitarist
to strum a G chord throughout the chorus as the other instruments, particularly the bass,
beneath it. However, this doesn't sound particularly good in solo arrangements, so I've

Free... Wanna be
free... Gonna be
free... and
move among the stars
You know they really aren't so far
Feels so free... Gotta know
free
Please
Don't wake me from the dream
It's really everything it seemed
I'm so free
No black and white
in the blue...

Everything is clearer now
Life is just a dream you know
That's never ending
I'm ascending.
