lyrics

I met an old man who’d flown aeroplanes for forty years
I said: all that sitting still in a tiny little cabin –
Weren’t you bored to tears?
He said, ‘No, son,
Every day was heaven,
There was always blue above the clouds.’

Now everything changes when I think of what the old man said
Instead of running round all day like an ant inside a burrow
I stop and I clear my head
And I look down
From a pilot’s eye view
In the open blue above the clouds

So any time you feel like you’re drifting in a world of grey
With no star for you to steer by, just remember I am nearby
I hope you can hear me say
That tomorrow
Is a day born brand new
And it’s always blue above the clouds
