Up ahead I see the blue
Below me there’s just dirt
Even when I am just smiling
I can feel the hurt
Once again I test the water
I’m baptized in this blue
I doubt the things I now know
I question all I knew
Maybe I should struggle
Maybe I should climb
Maybe it’s just all things
Tend to have their time
Maybe I should hesitate
Maybe I will find
It’s really just this anger
Been making me so blind
All around me expectations
Inside a muffled prayer
I’ve lost the sense of self
That used to root me here
Once I’m being tested
But it’s graded as pass/fail
Have I finally fallen prey to
The hellhounds on my trail?
Maybe I should stand up straight
Maybe stop the pain
Maybe I just need to learn
Some personal restraint
Maybe I’ll remember
And finally just confess
If I could just learn to see
Through all this darkness
Up above I see a blue sky
Moving slowly into view
Although I’ve questioned everything
I know just what to do
Below me there’s just dirt
Even when I am just smiling
I can feel the hurt
Once again I test the water
I’m baptized in this blue
I doubt the things I now know
I question all I knew
Maybe I should struggle
Maybe I should climb
Maybe it’s just all things
Tend to have their time
Maybe I should hesitate
Maybe I will find
It’s really just this anger
Been making me so blind
All around me expectations
Inside a muffled prayer
I’ve lost the sense of self
That used to root me here
Once I’m being tested
But it’s graded as pass/fail
Have I finally fallen prey to
The hellhounds on my trail?
Maybe I should stand up straight
Maybe stop the pain
Maybe I just need to learn
Some personal restraint
Maybe I’ll remember
And finally just confess
If I could just learn to see
Through all this darkness
Up above I see a blue sky
Moving slowly into view
Although I’ve questioned everything
I know just what to do
