Blue skies
Calling on blue skies
Don't take them away boys
Don't take them away
'Cause I'll never stop lovin' my

I've been to both knees
Raise my hands up to the sky, forgive me

Is something out there far beyond the clouds
I'm asking help me
Help me to see the world
Through baby eyes and hold them closely
I need a fresh start on the roller-coaster made for coasting

It's time to wake up
Time to make up
Time to shake these memories
It's time to leave the past in the past and lace up a new set of shoe strings

I want the world to know
I've got your back
Through up and down see
So we can sit together
Side by side through amazing

Blue skies
Calling on blue skies
Don't take them away boys
Don't take them away
'Cause I'll never stop

So, I've broken every bone
And fought through what felt never ending
I thought my head was made of sadness
But my heart is mending

I scream at sunsets
Give applause to what I can't control
Then somehow laugh at how the moon divides an ocean solar

I wanna be that ocean
I want to shine like that
I want to smile so big my daughter jumps into my lap
And I wanna tell her daddies fine and always plans to be
Then take her in my arms
This is what we'll always see

Blue skies
Calling on blue skies
Never take them away boys
Don't take them away
Cause' I'll never stop lovin' my

And when I'm gone
I won't go screaming in the end
I'll give you everything my life amounts to
So raise this life up with me
And baby let's go dancing
Come on let's go

Blue skies
Calling on blue skies
Don't take them away boys
Don't take them away

    He's been through some really hard things in life, but now it has a new meaning because of his daughter. He's humbled by the world. "give applause to what I can't control". He wants nothing more than to be healthy for his child. Love it!

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
