Lyrics
PURPLE SKY
A?,A,Ac 2007 Alejandro Gutierrez
WHY IF YOU ARE SO FREE
DO YOU DIG YOUR HEELS SO DEEP IN THE GROUND
WHY IF YOU LIKE ALL TO BE
DO YOU LIKE TO SAY AND STAND YOUR GROUND
WHY YOU ASK WHY, ITS JUST I
WHY YOU ASK WHY, ITS JUST I
SON YOU HAVE TO HEED
THE WARNINGS I GIVE, WATCH OUT FOR THE SUN
DON'T YOU FLY TOO HIGH
TOO FAST, TOO WILD, OR YOU'LL LOSE IT ALL
WHY YOU ASK WHY, ITS JUST I
WHY YOU ASK WHY, PURPLE SKY
ICARUS MY SON YOU CAN'T FLY INTO THE PURPLE SKY
WHY YOU KEEP ON ASKING WHY, JUST FLY
YOU HAVE THE WORLD BENEATH YOU
YOU HAVE IT ALL IN YOUR GRASP
ICARUS MY SON YOU JUST MIGHT FLY YOURSELF
INTO THE GROUND
