Blue Skies Over Bad Lands

C                                 Em
What if you woke up in the middle of the night
C                             Em
    And in your bare feet you walked outside
C                                         Em
    And realizing that you were awake that you could fly
    C                  Em
Out over the world out over the world

To places that you've only heard of
See faces that you were sold as murderers
But just like you they're only lonely boys and girls
Like all over the world

What if you could lift them up?
What if you could make it so that times weren't tough?
So ever morning when the world woke up
There'd only be weather on the news

Am                    C
And what if you were back in bed?
Em                         C
With one of them floating over your head
Am                       C
What do you say to your enemies
    Em                               C
When you don't know what it is that could have been between you
Em
Could have been between you, oh (x4)


There ain't no blue skies over bad lands
Even if it ain't raining in the mornings
But you don't need to fly to understand it
Just understand understanding
