ah   there it is   blue

how we've waited   and with it

comes this   a clear conscience

~

only yesterday life sat upon our shoulders

like a heavy snowfall

weary   oh so very weary

~

our souls must soar   must find 

the open spaces

the sky   the blue blue sky

~

and our souls must shed the weight

of a heavy snowfall

and be pure    pure as the blue blue sky

~

and our hearts must beat strong and free

and be filled

with the stuff of life   blood and love

~

and tomorrow must beckon cheerily

like a robin in spring

cheer up cheerily   they say and we say

~

and the story ends here though it never ends

one step following another

through storm and fair   again and again again   until

~

we come upon a fair blue sky   and we will walk 

through fair mountain air

clear of conscience   soul unburdened   heart rich with blood and love
