 "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
