When I Look Above

(album: Boy Cried Wolf - 2013)

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
