Orange Sky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time is a now a distant, faded memory
But I have seen the meaning of
The price we have to pay
Today
Today
And all our dreams and aspirations
And our hopefulness
But I have seen the meaning of
The price we have to pay
Today
Today
Just like the river
Taking us to the sea
Promise leaving us
Into the same dream
Like sand in the hour glass
Time is slipping by
As the river of our spirits
Flow into the sky
But I have seen the meaning of
The price we have to pay
Today
Today
Just like, the river
Taking us to, the sea
Promise, leaving us
Into the same dream
The sand in the hour glass
Pouring over me
Time is a now a distant, faded memory
But I have seen the meaning of
The price we have to pay
Today
Today
Today
The Orange Sky's song, "Promise," is a solemn, introspective meditation on the passage of time and the inevitability of change. Through the metaphor of an hourglass, the lyrics describe how time seems to slip away from us, leaving only the fading memories of our past. The singer speaks of having seen "the meaning of the price we have to pay," suggesting that they have come to understand the often painful consequences of our choices and actions.
The song also references the themes of revolution and evolution, suggesting that even as our hopes and dreams seem to evaporate like mist, there is still a sense of forward momentum pushing us towards some as-yet-unknown future. The river metaphor serves to reinforce this idea, suggesting that we are all caught up in a larger, unstoppable force that carries us inexorably towards our ultimate destination.
Overall, the message of "Promise" is a sobering one, reminding us that time is fleeting and that we must each strive to make the most of the moments we have. Yet there is also a sense of hopefulness here, a belief that even in the face of inevitable change and uncertainty, we can still find solace in the beauty of the journey.

The sand in the hour glass, pouring over me
Time is moving quickly and slipping away
Time is a now a distant, faded memory
The past is gone and forgotten
But I have seen the meaning of
I now understand
The price we have to pay
The cost of our choices and actions
Today
Right now, in the present moment
Revolution, evolution fading into mist
Our ideas and progress are becoming unclear and uncertain
And all our dreams and aspirations
Our hopes and goals
And our hopefulness
Our optimistic outlook
Just like the river
Similar to the natural flow of water
Taking us to the sea
Leading us to our ultimate destination
Promise leaving us
Our expectations and potential
Into the same dream
Towards a common goal or vision
Like sand in the hour glass
Symbolic of the passage of time
As the river of our spirits
The emotional and mental currents of our being
Flow into the sky
Rising upwards into the unknown future
Today
In the present moment

Well, I had a dream I
Stood beneath an orange sky
Yes, I had a dream I
Stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother standing by
With my brother standing by
I said, brother, you know, you know
It's a long road we've been walking on
Brother, you know it is, you know it is
Such a long road we've been walking on
(Oh, brother)
And I had a dream I
Stood beneath an orange sky
With my sister standing by
With my sister standing by
I said sister, here is what I know now
Here is what I know now, goes like this
In your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
In your love, in your love
Oh, but sister, you know I'm so weary
And you know, sister, my heart's been broken
Sometimes, sometimes, my mind is too strong
To carry on
Too strong to carry on
But when I am alone
When I've thrown off the weight of this crazy stone
When I've lost all care for the things I own
That's when I miss you
That's when I miss you
That's when I miss you
You who are my home
You who are my home
And here is what I know now
Here is what I know now, goes like this
In your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
In your love, in your love
Well, I had a dream I
Stood beneath an orange sky
Yes, I had a dream I
Stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother and my sister standing by
With my brother and my sister standing by
With my brother and my sister standing by

Céu Laranja
Bem, eu tive um sonho
Eu estava embaixo de um céu laranja
Sim, eu tive um sonho
Eu estava embaixo de um céu laranja
Com meu irmão por perto
Com meu irmão por perto
Eu disse: Irmão, você sabe, você sabe
É uma longa estrada na qual estamos caminhando
Irmão, você sabe que é, você sabe que é
Uma longa estrada na qual estamos caminhando
E eu tive um sonho
Eu estava embaixo de um céu laranja
Com minha irmã por perto
Com minha irmã por perto
Eu disse: Irmã, aqui está o que eu sei agora
Aqui está o que eu sei agora é mais ou menos assim
Minha salvação está no seu amor
Minha salvação está no seu amor
Minha salvação está no seu amor
No seu amor, no seu amor, no seu amor
Mas você sabe, irmã, eu estou tão cansado
E você sabe, irmã
Meu coração foi partido
Algumas vezes, algumas vezes
Minha mente é forte demais pra continuar
Muito forte pra continuar
Quando eu estou sozinho
Quando eu tiro o peso dessa pedra louca
Quando eu perdi todo o cuidado pelas coisas que eu tenho
É quando eu sinto sua falta
É quando eu sinto sua falta
É quando eu sinto sua falta
Você é o meu lar
Você é o meu lar
E aqui está o que eu sei agora
Aqui está o que eu sei agora é mais ou menos assim
Minha salvação está no seu amor
Minha salvação está no seu amor
Minha salvação está no seu amor
Minha salvação está no seu amor
Minha salvação está no seu amor
Minha salvação está no seu amor
Minha salvação está no seu amor
No seu amor, no seu amor, no seu amor
Bem, eu tive um sonho
Eu estava embaixo de um céu laranja
Sim, eu tive um sonho
Eu estava embaixo de um céu laranja
Com meu irmão e minha irmã por perto
Com meu irmão e minha irmã por perto
Com meu irmão e minha irmã por perto

One of Prison break greatest songs 💔
@SandraMaynard-fc2bb
Love this song. My daughter had it played at her brother's funeral. My son. I also played it for my mother as she was passing.
@mastaace1997
I have an assortment of mental health issues and really bad depression, and this is the song I use to help me relax and calm down. What an absolutely sublime song
@larrysmoke9818
Same<3
@bryanfitzgerald4622
I feel the same
@mrh0ck3y
Actually, contrary to popular belief, this isn't a Sublime song. This came out like 10 years after Bradley Knowell passed.
@banannz247
It brings out the feelings of love and actual life your depression and anxiety is usually displacing and channels your emotions where it makes sense ❤️ it feels soo good..I feel like I relate to this
@etripzkaraokeuberkc2121
Stay strong! Your salvation lies in your love.
