Lyrics

Handful of Sky

(Music - M. Novak, Lyrics – M. Novak, C. Webster)

Looking for hope in a bottle
Is not life’s best model
When that bottle runs dry
You give another try
Any way you get high
It’s just a handful of sky

Getting high was cool
I started in school
A promise of paradise
We were told it was wise
It was found to be a lie
It was another empty sky

CHORUS:

What we were taught to believe – was a handful of sky
What we were told we need – was a handful of sky
What we saw on TV – was a handful of sky
Pleased to be naïve – was a handful of sky
Promised immortality - Is a handful of sky

Trying my best
Just like the rest
It’s an illusive delusion
Fraught with confusion.
The harder I try
I get a handful of sky

The good book says live forever
Empty words very clever
Good book follow the rules
Empty words make you fools
Good book pages of lies
Just another handful of sky.


CHORUS:

Bureaucrats talk pie in the sky
We seek truth in lies
Voted in with high ideals
Promises found to be unreal
Deals made all on the sly
Just another handful of sky.

Day to day living never satisfied
Coming up empty hurting your pride
The merry- go –round with carrot in site
Constant reaching fruitless plight
People wanting their piece of the pie
Reaching for a handful of sky.
