Blue Sunset

lyrics

​Are you on a constant vigil, senses heightened, nerves alert
To every nuance in the tea leaves, distillate the news from dirt.
Adrenaline is spiking with each headline of a viral tweet.
You cannot tear yourself away from reading each new crime and cheat.
You need to go and find yourself some blue sky.

When you're on your guard because
you can't decide who's friend or foe,
you have to keep deciding when to fight,
or keep your head down low.

You cannot put your phone away
you have to give it one last look
You swear you're going to turn it off but
can't just sit and read a book.
You've go to find yourself
Some blue sky...
And a blues high
And a blue sunset in your mind's eye...

I've got to strike a balance if I'm going to stay strong for the long-haul.
Keep my garden tended to while keeping up the good fight for all.
To swing the arc towards justice is a fight I do not fight to alone.
So if I need to take a break I'll come back rested, come back strong.
So I'll just take this moment to find some

Blue sky
And a blues high
And a blue sunset in my mind's eye....
And a blues high
And a blue sunset in my mind's eye.
