Haze in the Sky

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Smoke crawls low across the glen

The hills I knew are grey again

No thrush is singing in the thorn

The morning never quite is born

I press my hand against the glass

And watch the slow grey river pass

My father fished this water clean

Now nothing moves in the space between

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the forest grieve

Can you see what we will leave

Every lung that fills today

Pays a toll we should not pay

Chorus

Haze in the sky go away

Bring back the sun bring back the day

Let the children breathe the air

Let them know that someone cares

Haze in the sky disappear

Leave us something bright and clear

We need the blue above the stone

We need this earth we call our own

Verse 2

The distant hills have lost their green

A fading world behind a screen

Ash is drifting on the breeze

A quiet warning through the trees

My daughter asks me why it's dim

I have no honest words for him

If we take and never give

What kind of land will they live in

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the forest grieve

Can you see what we will leave

There is still a road to mend

Still a chance before the end

Chorus

Haze in the sky go away

Bring back the sun bring back the day

Let the children breathe the air

Let them know that someone cares

Haze in the sky disappear

Leave us something bright and clear

We need the blue above the stone

We need this earth we call our own

Bridge

One small seed and one strong hand

One green row across the land

Stand together side by side

A wider world for those who ride

No more smoke to veil the sun

No more ruin left undone

Let the rain wash out the stain

Let the clear skies come again

Guitar Solo

Final Chorus

Haze in the sky fade away

Let the golden morning stay

Let the children run and play

Under blue skies one fine day

Haze in the sky say goodbye

Let the stars come back on high

Guard the earth our home our own

Bring the blue back to the stone
