Clear Skies

Clear skies and the sun in your eyes again
Start to sift the debris
It’s a long and difficult road
Take it slow and steady your load
Find the point of balance and slowly lift
Don’t take any more than you need to
Take only the best; leave the rest
Behind
It’s a chance to start over again
Strip it down to the basics and then
Keep the parts of your life that make you sing
Down the road there are new things to see
New experience, new possibilities
And remember that worse things happen at sea
Clear skies and the sun in your eyes
Start to lift yourself free
It’s your choice — you can lay down and die
Or remember that there’s more to life
And that life is a long song and you are not
Ready to go without singing the final refrain
And again
And again
And again
