Big Sky

Ray Davies, released on The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society, © Noma Music, Inc./Hi-Count Music, Inc. BMI 1968

.

Big Sky looks down on all the people looking up at the Big Sky.

Everybody pushing one another around

Big Sky feels sad when he sees the children scream and cry

But the Big Sky is too big to let it get him down.

.

Big Sky too big to cry

Big Sky too high to see

People like you and me

.

One day we'll be free, we won't care, just you see

'Til that day can be, don't let it get you down

When I feel that the world is too much for me

I think of the Big Sky, and nothing matters much to me.

.

Big Sky looks down on all the people who think they got problems

They get depressed and they hold their head in their hands and cry.

People lift up their hands and they look up to the Big Sky

But the Big Sky is too big to sympathize

.

Big Sky's too occupied

Though he would like to try

And he feels bad inside

Big Sky's too big to cry

.

One day we'll be free, we won't care, just you wait and see

'Til that day can be, don't let it get you down.

.
