about

This song sums it all up in an acapella / drumline version of a song which originally appeared on my GENTLE MAN album from 1994.

lyrics

The Magnificent Sky - song by Elyce & Benjamin Russell (socan)

I've been up and I've been down
I've had my face rubbed in the ground
But I can laugh though I still cry
Listen close, I'll tell you why

There's a force that we can't see
It touches you, it touches me
But we can glimpse it if we try
In the magnificent sky

The magnificent sky
It's so big, it's so wide
Makes me feel so small but high
The magnificent sky

I've heard the truth and I've heard lies
I've heard my share of alibis
I've hid my head down in the sand
I've struggled hard to understand

But through it all one thing is clear
If you don't listen, you won't hear
If you don't ask, you won't know why
Ask the magnificent sky

The magnificent sky
It's so big, it's so wide
Makes me feel so small but high
The magnificent sky
