Blue Skies Over Bad Lands Lyrics - Matthew Good Band

What if you woke up in the middle of the night 

And in your bare feet you walked outside 

And realizing that you were awake that you could fly 

Out over the world 

To places that you've only heard of 

See faces that you were sold as murderers 

But just like you they're only lonely boys and girls 

Like all over the world 

What if you could lift them up? 

What if you could make it so that times weren't tough? 

So ever morning when the world woke up 

There'd only be weather on the news 

And what if you were back in bed 

With one of them floating over your head 

What do you say to your enemies 

When you don't know what it is that could have been between you? 

There ain't no blue skies over bad lands 

Even if it ain't raining in the mornings 

But you don't need to fly to understand it 

Just understand understanding
