When I Look Above

When I look above

I do not long for gods in heaven

I long for open hearts

And eyes that judge on actions alone

I want to carry on

I want this gift to keep on giving

I want to sing my song

And I don't care who sings along

I want to live my life

Without the fear of something missing

I want to close my eyes

To all the things I'll never wrong

I want to feel real love

I want to lose my sense of judgement

I'll buy a small sailboat

And we'll go sailing 'round the world

When I look above

I do not long for gods in heaven

I long for open hearts

And eyes that judge on actions alone

I want the lights to go out

On every town in every country

In every country on the planet

For just one minute to see the stars

And when the lights come up

We'll all breathe and think and wonder

Say: "What are we doing burning candles

In stead of pissing in the dark?"

When I look above

I see the clouds and think of you, love

We did not dream enough

't Was only luck that got us far

When I look above

I do not long for gods in heaven

I long for open hearts

And eyes that judge on actions alone

When I look above

I do not long for gods in heaven

I long for open hearts

And eyes that judge on actions alone
