I'm Blue Skies
Cheyenne Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing left, no more breath,
To sing "Over the Rainbow."
Cloudy day, not a ray,
Still I say, there′s a way,
But now here I go.
I break apart at the seams.
From the dark,
I see the sunrise.
I believe that we finally.
Here I am, letting go.
I am fearless, invulnerable.
I am brave, I'm alive,
Patiently waiting for love to arrive.
I′m Blue, Skies,
I'm Blue, Skies,
I'm Blue, Skies,
I′m Blue, Skies.
Oh o oh o oh o oh oh oh.
Yea eah ah eah ah eah ah eah ah eah ah eah eah!
Oh o oh o oh o oh oh oh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
In the tears, I saw fear,
I′m so scared, but I'm here,
And I′m better that ever.
For the first time, into last night,
I break apart at the seams.
From the dark,
I see the sunrise.
I believe that we finally.
Here I am, letting go.
I am fearless, invulnerable.
I am brave, I'm alive,
Patiently waiting to get what is mine.
Oh o oh o oh o oh oh oh.
Yea eah ah eah ah eah ah eah ah eah ah eah eah!
Oh o oh o oh o oh oh oh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Through all of the noise,
I was loosing my voice,
And my heart, and my hands, they were tied.
I am brave, I′m alive.
Patiently waiting to get what is mine.
I'm Blue, Skies,
I′m Blue, Skies,
I'm Blue, Skies,
I'm Blue, Skiiii-iiiiiii-iiiiies!
(High pitch)
Oh o oh o oh o oh oh oh.
Yea eah ah eah ah eah ah eah ah eah ah eah eah!
Oh o oh o oh o oh oh oh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh o oh o oh o oh oh oh.
Yea eah ah eah ah eah ah eah ah eah ah eah eah!
Oh o oh o oh o oh oh oh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
