Look Up To The Sky
The Indians Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I believe that destiny
Could change the hands of fate
I'd believe forever
Was a lonely to wait
But i can see inside your eyes
Mirror's soul cannot tell lies
And i believe like i believe
Miracles and destiny

You make your own reality
And i know when i...
Look up to the sky
There's angels in the clouds
At night you can see their eyes
See the stars
Lookin down

How i feel at the thought of you
Leaves me with
Nothin to hide
Cause when im layin
Next to you
Naked my pride

I can wait a lonely time
I would wait and wouldnt mind
Cause i believe
Like i believe
Miracles and destiny
You make your own reality
Cause i know when i

I look up to the sky
There's angels
In the clouds
At night you can see their eyes
See the stars, lookin down
Oh whoa...

If i believed
Destiny
Could change the hands of fate
Id believe forever
Was a lonely place to wait
I can see inside your eyes
Mirror's soul cannot tell lies
And i believe like i believe
Miracles and destiny you make your own reality

I look up to the sky
There's angels in the clouds
At night you can see their eyes
See the stars
Lookin down...
Ohohhhhhh

Lookin down
Lookin down down
