Lyrics

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

Primitive man saw the cycles of the earth
His spirit would return in another rebirth
His animal guide was carefully selected
He lived his life as the spirit directed
An eternal cycle he’ll never die
His belief in spirits never looked to the sky

When man finally lifted his eyes to the sky
In the cycle of life they found a reason why
The patterns of movement in the skies above
Answered the question of the migrating doves
Monuments built to mark the seasons
The movement of the sun and moon was given reason

CHORUS:
Sky island were for those who were good
Might be make believe
Sky island for followers who could
Might never be
Sky island is yours if you comply
But what they got was a handful of sky
Might be make believe
Might never be

Once nature was seen as an agent of intent
Offerings were made so that blessings could be sent
Each element of nature was seen as a god
Apollo and Zeus were their facades
Appeasing their gods was constant strife
All that was returned was the promise of eternal life

It was called heaven created by the priests
You lived by their laws until you were deceased
Reunited with loved ones, no disease no desire
If the rules weren’t followed you will burn in the fire
Raised with a yearning for the island in the sky
They all expect to get there but no one wants to die

CHORUS:

Might be make believe
Might never be
