about

Title tune conveys that life is okay even with all it's problems. I always loved the calypso feel with the percussion spicing it up along with Mark's excellent and tasty guitar licks.

lyrics

Watch the Sky
by John Beccia


This world is moving fast
But still I'm much to slow
Another war has passed
Still there's so many more
What can a poor girl do but stay at home and cry
What can this poor boy do but watch the sky

I hope the clouds I see
Will still be pure and white
I hope the orange I see
Is just the bright sunlight
What can a poor bird do but stay aloft and fly
What can this poor boy do but watch the sky

The grey that's moving  in
May only be the night
The blackness of the time
Can sometimes blind your sight
What can the people do but simply live to die
What can this poor boy do but watch the sky
