Matthew Good Band - Blue Skies Over Bad Lands lyrics

What if you woke up in the middle of the night

And in your bare feet you walked outside

And realizing that you were awake that you could fly

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

And what if you were back in bed

With one of them floating over your head

What do you say to your enemies

When you don't know what it is that could have been between you?

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
