I'm blind with eyes wide open
My body's hard and broken
I want a taste of something that doesn't leave me dry
This hope for answered questions
As rare as true conviction
I stare into the distance, there is no truth in sight
Who can tell me why
Everybody's looking for a blue sky
Searching for an answer on a satellite
I know that there's got to be a blue sky out there to see
A blue sky waiting for me
I've seen the main attraction
I've felt the moment's passion
I won't be no soap box teacher, just taking your time
Just taking your time
Who can tell me why
Everybody's looking for a blue sky
Searching for an answer on a satellite
I know that there's got to be a blue sky out there to see
A blue sky
Everywhere i go, it feels like i'm always looking for something
'til i know for sure, i'll be right here waiting for something
More, more, for something more, for something more
Everybody's looking for a blue sky
Searching for an answer on a satellite
I know that there's got to be a blue sky out there to see
Somewhere there's a blue sky waiting
Everybody's looking for a blue sky
Searching for an answer on a satellite
I know that there's got to be a blue sky waiting for me
A blue sky
My body's hard and broken
I want a taste of something that doesn't leave me dry
This hope for answered questions
As rare as true conviction
I stare into the distance, there is no truth in sight
Who can tell me why
Searching for an answer on a satellite
I know that there's got to be a blue sky out there to see
A blue sky waiting for me
I've felt the moment's passion
I won't be no soap box teacher, just taking your time
Just taking your time
Who can tell me why
Searching for an answer on a satellite
I know that there's got to be a blue sky out there to see
A blue sky
'til i know for sure, i'll be right here waiting for something
More, more, for something more, for something more
Searching for an answer on a satellite
I know that there's got to be a blue sky out there to see
Somewhere there's a blue sky waiting
Everybody's looking for a blue sky
Searching for an answer on a satellite
I know that there's got to be a blue sky waiting for me

a deeper meaning in life.
Everyone is searching for a purpose, or something to fill the void in their being, but as many people know, the things that occupy us always "leave us dry"
"Jesus answered and said to her, Everyone who drinks of this water shall thirst again, But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall by no means thirst forever; but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into eternal life." -John 4:13-14
praise the Lord that He is the only one who can fill us.
This song is basically about someone not wanting to live life without discovering the little hidden mysteries of life.
"This hope for answered questions As rare as true conviction I stare into the distance, there is no truth in sight Who can tell me why"
When he sings "everybodys looking for a blue sky", he's says blue sky because a blue sky is something everyone sees but never looks deep into and examines everything about it. Something common that people never appreciate.
I think Hanson's pointing out that everyone feels this need to find out what life is, how we got here etc, but then there's only one answer, an answer that people like to avoid. But he's saying there's a blue sky waiting for him. Heaven.
fun tidbit...in the podcast of when they were writing this song, they were drinking blue sky sodas!
Mother of music, this guys are pretty awesome at writing songs! Beautiful song with a deep meaning
