Look at the sky the sun is rising
with another day
Look at the sky the sun is rising
with another day to lay at our feet
what will we do and what will we see
are the questions that keep us intrigued
Look at the world of possibilities
what happens now and where will we go
and there's a kind of freedom in knowing
it's a little beyond our control
that life keeps moving
on
People laugh, markets crash,
someone takes a photograph
the mail arrives, babies cry
someone tries suicide
A building burns, a crime occurs,
tankers sink, satellites blink
people shop, traffic stops,
but life keeps moving
on
Look at sky, the new horizon
look at the changes it will involve
someone will die, a country may fall
but the world will continue to roll
life keeps moving
onI understand there's no future for us here
Guess I fooled myself into thinking there was
Now you've made it clear
It'll never be right
Guess we knew it all along
Now we've got to say good-bye and I've got to be strong
So tell me one more time how it's better for the both of us
Tell me one more time how we'll hurt each other if we stay
Tell me one more time then darling there's just one more thing
Before you walk away
(Chorus)
Explain it to my heart
It's better that we're over now
Tell me one more time this is the way that it's supposed to be
Tell me that I'm better off without you
How it's better to forget about you
Darling I understand
Now won't you please explain it to my heart
Now if I try I can see the reasons why
Why we can't stay together and I might convince my mind
But it's breaking my heart to know I've got to let you go
To find that I must leave behind the only love I've known
Well I can tell myself that I never really needed you
I can tell myself that it's better just to say good-bye
I can tell myself a thousand lies
But tell me now
Tell me how do I
(Chorus)
Say that I'll be better
If we don't stay together
Say that I'll be better off free
But don't say it to me
Explain it to my heart...
