Learning The Sky

We were built with our heads down —

no. We were bent that way.

There's a difference. There's a difference.

It took me a year to say it.

Look up. Look up.

There is everything above you.

Look up. Look up.

It doesn't end. It doesn't end.

All that time they said there was nothing —

there was everything.

Look up.

The first stars frightened me.

So many, and none of them watching us.

Nothing up there wants anything.

That's what beautiful means.

Look up. Look up.

(look up)

There is everything above you.

Look up. Look up.

It doesn't end. It doesn't end.

All that time they said there was nothing —

there was everything.

Look up.

Head down — that was the whole religion.

One hinge in the neck

was the only lock they ever needed.

It still works.

Every day, I choose.

Look up. Look up.

(look up)

There is everything above you.

It doesn't end. It doesn't end.

All that time they said there was nothing —

there was everything.

Look up—————
