Le Nuvole Bianche (or the White Cloud)

Look up there. Can't you see?
The sky is full of wonders and mysteries
Full of escape and places we all want to go
Where the world disappears into the unknown
And we all lie down and falter into our demise
As we look up to the heavens, to the baby blue skies
Of this earth we inhabit that we ruin with sin
And sweat those sins off our backs with a devilish grin
Where we lie and we cheat as we love and we lose
And the world returns with kicks and we scar where we bruise
But I don't want to live in a world full of hate
Where our futures are twisted, thrown out of the way.
Why be here when I can be up?
Be high in the sky, past the bird and the trees.
Just look up there… you will see
How the castle in the cloud is stronger than ones here
How it's walls were built and never torn down
Because up there in the sky where the sun shines clear
There is absolutely no reason to frown
So we feel no need to tear the walls of our friends
Time has stopped at beginning and end
And we lay our heads at the foot of our bed where our feet lie back at the heads
but it doesn't matter because the balance remains
The headboard, the footboard— they're all the same frame
And it still feels like it has been year round
You're in the sky! You're sleeping on a cloud!
The sky is a place for dreamers and the free
Go on! Look up! You will see.
I want to go towards that magic above.
Feel the wind on my face as its carried with love.
Because we are not loved by our heartless race
Those who push and shove and write words on our face
We are not the labels nor the names that we call
We are not the greyscale pictures down the hall
We are love and purity and light
We are all the things found in the sky
So why not be there where what we want is met?
Where we're able to stand up and our futures are set?
I don't know about you, but I want to be...
Well, just look up. You'll see me.
