The people lift up their hands and they look up to The Big Sky
But The Big Sky's too big to sympathize

Though he would like to try
When he feels glad inside
Big Sky's too big to cry

One day we'll be free
We won't care just you wait and see                            Bb
Till that day can be don't let it get you down
