Ask the Sky

Lyrics

Verse I
Tonight Tonight
I’ve asked the sky
to send me a melody
to make me feel all right

Verse II
I prayed and I prayed
for an angel to fly close by
and whisper a lullaby
to make me feel all right

Pre-Chorus
and she sang so sweetly
about forgotten things
Love Peace and Freedom
and strange things like dignity

Chorus
she sang (spoken)
Stay awake, stay awake
my human fellow stay awake
don’t fall asleep in democracy
‘cause you will wake up in tyranny

still singing (spoken)
Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid
my human fellow don’t be afraid
Nobody can catch your thoughts
Nobody can touch your soul

Bridge
Hold the line, hold the line
my human fellow hold the line
everything will be fine

Stay awake, Stay awake
my human fellow Stay awake
Stay awake for God’s sake

Tonight, tonight, why don’t you ask the sky
