Lyrics
OPEN AS THE SKY
Every day I wake up and in my mind
I'm thinking about you
Every day I wonder why the great design
has left me to live without you
Yea, every day I wonder if I've passed the test,
and if I'm seeing clearly
Sometimes I believe the answer's yes,
but most times not even nearly
And nobody can tell me why
my life has taken this direction
No, no one can ever satisfy
my thirst for answers to these questions
So often I have questioned what I'm doing here
and why, after everything I've gone through,
I have got to wage this battle with my fear
of having nothing to hold on to
And nobody can tell me why
my life has taken this direction
No, no one can ever satisfy
my thirst for answers to these questions
Oh, I have loved so deeply till there was no me,
I've also felt such separation
Now my heart's as open as the sea
Our love was just my preparation
Oh, I've loved and I've watched my love die,
and I have felt my heart breakin'
Now my heart's as open as the sky,
and I feel like I've just awakened
Yes, I've loved and I've watched my love die,
and I have felt my heart breakin'
Now my heart's as open as the sky
(and) I feel like I've just awakened
