Calling on blue skies
Don't take them away boys
Don't take them away
'Cause I'll never stop

I've been to both knees
Raise my hands up to the sky, forgive me

Is something out there far beyond the clouds
I'm asking help me
Help me to see the world
Through baby eyes and hold me closely
I need a fresh start on the roller-coaster made for coasting

It's time to wake up
Time to make up
Time to shake these memories
It's time to leave the past in the past and lace up a new set of shoe strings

I want the world to know
I've got your back
Through up and down see
So we can sit together
Side by side through amazing

Blue skies
Calling on blue skies
Don't take them away boys
Don't take them away
'Cause I'll never stop

So, I've broken every bone
And fought through what felt never ending
I thought my head was made of sadness
But my heart is mending

I scream at sunsets
Give applause to what I can't control
Then somehow laugh at how the moon divides an ocean solar

I wanna be that ocean
I want to shine like that
I want to smile so big my daughter jumps into my lap
And I wanna tell her daddies fine and always plans to be
Then take her in my arms
This is what we'll always see

With blue skies
Calling on blue skies
Never take them away boys
Don't take them away

And when I'm gone
I won't go screaming in the end
I'll give you everything my life amounts to
So raise your life up with me
And baby let's go dancing

Blue skies
Calling on blue skies
Don't take them away boys
Don't take them away

Well I've broken every bone
And fought through what felt never ending
I thought my head was made of sadness
My heart is mending

I scream at sunsets
Give applause to what I can't control
Then somehow laugh at how the moon divides an ocean solar

I wanna be that ocean
I wanna shine like that
I wanna smile so big my daughter jumps into my lap
And I wanna tell her daddies fine
And always plans to be
Then take her in my arms
This is what we'll always see

Just blue skies
Calling on blue skies
I'll never take them away girl
I'll never take them away
Cause I'll never stop
Loving my blue skies

Calling on blue skies
Don't take them away boys
