Watching The Sky Lyrics

Ever since I was a young boy
I turned towards the sky
I know there's something out there
A message in the stars
When the night is black
And the dark is dark
I stand and watch your lights
I long to be there with you
And join you in your flights

I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you
I've been watching the sky
Calling to you

I wrote off to the government
For I got no reply
They tell us there's no cover up
But I don't believe their lies
Fifty billion planets
There's gotta be some life
Don't tell me I'm the only one
Standing in the night

I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you
I've been watching the sky
Calling to you

I've been watching
Watching the sky
I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you
I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you

Ever since I was a young boy 
I turned towards the sky
I know there's something out there
A message in the stars
When the night is black
And the dark is dark
I stand and watch your lights
I long to be there with you
And join you in your flights

I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you
I've been watching the sky
Calling to you

Ever since I was a young boy 
I turned towards the sky
I know there's something out there
A message in the stars
When the night is black
And the dark is dark
I stand and watch your lights
I long to be there with you
And join you in your flights

I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you
I've been watching the sky
Calling to you

I've been watching
Watching the sky
I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you
I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song portrays the sense of wonder and longing for connection with something beyond ourselves, primarily extraterrestrial life. The song focuses on someone who ever since a child they've had a deep fascination with the mysteries of the universe, gazing up at the night sky, and feels a strong desire to communicate with or reach out to an unknown entity, rejecting official denials of other life forms and expressing a belief in a greater cosmic truth waiting to be uncovered. It captures well our endless curiosity and pursuit of understanding the mysteries that lie beyond our pale blue dot.
