LYRICS

Look up, shield your eyes

See the tiny silhouette against the sky
Of cyan, indigo and lavender blue
Cyan, indigo and azure blue
 
And gazing down from high in the air
The mighty eagle floats along without a care
Over a splendid tapestry of colours and shapes
Playgrounds, duck ponds,
Water falls, shopping malls,
Trash cans, moving vans,
Barley crops, barber shops
Roof tops
And a host of tiny people 
Squinting into the sky
 
Under one sky
Under one amazing sun
We can learn to dwell together
Through the most inclement weather
Under one sky
 
Big skies in Montana are magnificent, they say
But have you been to sweet home, Alberta?
The forecast on the coast is often cloudy and grey
From horizon to horizon we can confidently say
 
Under one sky
Under one amazing sun
We can learn to dwell together
Through the most inclement weather
Under one sky
 
Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the firmament of parchment made
Were every tree on earth a quill
And every one of us a scribe by trade
To describe the grace that covers us all
Would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched across the sky
 
Under one sky
Under one amazing sun
We can learn to dwell together
Through the most inclement weather
Under one sky
