Otherwise (full band draft)

"My god it's 6am"
Wakes her man, carries her boy, then heads straight to the van
Greets a couple in the back, saying, "Sorry we're late"
Now right beside her sits her son asking 'bout this and that
Going on about meeting and feeding elephants
His dad beside him says, "Quiet, my love, learn to wait"
Oooh, the child looks out the window and smiles
Oooh, with nothing much to do I join him for a while
Then in my mind, I heard my spirit say,
"Blue sky,
Why do we cry?
Is it sorrow or joy
We perceive through our eyes?
And are the colors so bright
A trick of the light?
The awe of the boy says otherwise
The awe of the boy says otherwise"
End of the day, we're driving back and now the family's gone
Rest of the trip was pretty peaceful, there was something wrong
See and hear and touch and taste and smell and something else I couldn't put my finger on
I felt it creeping on my lips through a shared cigarette
Bittersweet just like a kiss upon a hospital bed
The thought of losing this moment
Reminds me that I'm just a sentimental kid
Blue sky,
Why do we cry?
Is it sorrow or joy
We perceive through our eyes?
And are the colors so bright
A trick of the light?
The awe of the boy says otherwise
The awe of the boy says otherwise
"Everything will meet its sorry end
Every face is just a fading friend"
This unbelief is just a hindrance
Help me to see with eyes of faith again
"Everything will meet its sorry end
Every face is just a fading friend"
This unbelief is just a hindrance
Help me to see with eyes of faith again
"Everything will meet its sorry end
Every face is just a fading friend"
This unbelief is just a hindrance
Help me to see with eyes of faith again
Help me to see with eyes of faith again
Help me to see with eyes of faith again
This unbelief is just a hindrance
Help me to see with childlike faith again
