"Oh Big Sky"
Oh, Big Sky
Are you watching over me
Shall I say...
What I feel is real today
Will they listen to me now
Will it matter anyhow
What shall I do... for my soul
Do you think you are a master
Do you practice what you preach
So you think your way is faster
Tell me...what is it you teach
Do you show us how to love each other
With more feeling every day
Are you helping anyone
With more feeling...as you say
Oh, Inspiration...
Are you watching over me
Shall I say...
What I feel is real today
Will they listen to me now
Will it matter anyhow
What shall I do... for my soul
If you want to start somewhere
Then start by being true
'Cause if you ain't true
Then we'll find somebody new
Now maybe you can help us all
With what it is you preach
But please don't say you know it all
There's always more to teach
Oh, Big Sky
Are you watching over me
Shall I say...
What I feel is real today
Will they listen to me now
Will it matter anyhow
What shall I do... for my soul
