lyrics

Rain coming down, soaked to the bone
Fog so thick, standing in a crowd all alone
Incongruity, nothing makes sense
Past, present, future, all seem meaningless

Living under an overcast sky
Never wondering about the reasons why
A glimpse of the sun, just another lie
No sanity in a mind that’s hypnotized

Ice and snow on the ground, dark nothingness above
Frozen feelings, no hate, passion or love
Breath freezes solid in the bitter cold
Warmth and joy can’t be bought or sold

Used to living under an overcast sky
Never wondering about the reasons why
A glimpse of the sun, just another lie
No sanity in a mind that’s hypnotized

Rays of sun at last burn through the dark
Brightness and joy flood in from the spark
Rainbow magically appear
Clouds melt away, along with the fear

No longer living under an overcast sky
Knowing all the answers, no wondering why
Darkness is gone, spirits are high
All is sanity, come let us fly

Let us fly, under an overcast sky…
