about

A song about not having all the answers and still being content

lyrics

Sea bird hopping one rock to another
They never leap into the Greatest Lake
Looking out from the church I'm searching for a mother
In the calmest water I have ever seen

The kind and smiling clouds, the sun is shining through
And there's a crystal clear horizon, and a black balloon
Limp, feathering down to the surface
It makes no ripple in the mild cerulean

A slow pontoon grumbles by
As the distant dusk tries to pry
Open wide the faceless clouds
And I grin and I open my eyes and I don't know why

I grin, I open my eyes, and I don't know why
