Paroles de Clouds

The clouds are here
They aren't up in the sky.
I cupped them with my hands
and reached up high.

I said to these clouds,
"no more am I blind.
I have to see straight
and that will make me unkind."

Visions of blue,
I'm angry, I'm wise.
And you, you're under cloudy skies.

Blue air I crave, blue air I breathe
They once chopped my heart the way you chop a tree.
Told to equate achievement with pain
I took their top prize and paid them back with rain.

Visions of blue
I'm angry I'm wise and you.
You're under cloudy skies.

Blue air I crave blue air I breathe
they once chopped my heart the way you chop a tree.
Told to equate Achievement with Pain Preverse and strong and you.
You're under cloudy skies.
What I did once I now do everyday.
