OPEN SKIES Michael Hedges lane [Intro — wordless, breathy hums] Above the quiet ridge of dawn Where the light forgets its name I follow echoes through the air And let the silence lead the way Every note is a wing in motion Every sound a rising tide The guitar is breathing open Like the sky before the light [Chorus] Open skies Carry me where the wind belongs Open skies Where every broken fear is gone I don’t fall — I float through time In the blue of open skies [Verse 2] Fingers dancing on the strings Like rain on distant glass Every harmonic is a star That shimmers as it passes There’s a world inside each tone Wide as any sea And when the rhythm finds my heart The horizon answers me [Chorus] Open skies Lift my thoughts into the clear Open skies Where every breath becomes sincere I don’t reach — I realize I was born for open skies [Bridge — whispered] Let the sound… become the way Let the wind… decide the day [Final Chorus] Open skies Carry me beyond the ground Open skies Where all the truth is in the sound I don’t chase — I finally rise Into the blue of open skies [Outro — wordless vocal + fading harmonics]
