Yo La Tengo › Lyrics › Big Sky

Big sky looked down on all the people looking up at the big sky
Everybody's pushing one another around
Big sky feels sad when he sees the children scream and cry
But the big sky's too big to let it get him down

Big sky's too big to cry, big sky's too high to see
People like you and me

One day we'll be free, we won't care, just you see
Till that day can be, don't let it get you down
And when I feel that the world's too much for me
I think about the big sky and nothing matters much to me

Big sky looked down on all the people who think they got problems
They get depressed and put their heads in their hands and they cry
People lift up their hands and look up to the big sky
But the big sky's 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 see
Till that day can be, don't let it get you down
