Lyrics

Snatch a glimpse of the morning sun
Rising over the sea and sky
Dipped in a pink and red dye
on a canvass of blue

Smell the air sweet with frangipanis
The sea breeze blows so warm and fresh
I am so impressed and so happy
That I could cry

Snatch a glimpse of the morning sun
Ising over the sea and sky
Dipped in a pink and red dye
On a canvass of blue

This brown smog hugging the city skyline
Grit building on my fingertips
Jammed on the harbour bridge
In the middle of a still sunny day

Confined to my house while the rain pours down
For five days in a row
Looking out the window praying for a sign just a little hope
Of blue skies again

BUT I CAN SMILE
THROUGH THE THUNDER
DESPITE ANY CLOUD I’M UNDER
ILLUSION, A PASSING DREAM
THAT’S ALL THAT IT IS

When love decides to call it a day
The pain is so much easier to tame
By knowing what’s up there

WAY UP HIGH
OUR MINDS ARE FREE TO WONDER
ABOVE ANY CLOUD WE’RE UNDER

There’s a treat for all to see
The clearest blue sky
Never ceasing to be
And the sun glowing out it’s loving arms
Embracing all humanity
