Daniel Amos
Sky King (Out Across the Sky) (Live in ’79)
[Spoken: Terry Scott Taylor]
Jesus is coming again. In the meantime, we groan within our spirits at what we might be clothed upon with the heavenly dwelling. Listen close to this song

[Verse 1]
Clouds are gathering around my head
It's a rainy day without an end
I'd change the world, but it won't bend
Then I hear Your voice in the wind
Did I hear You calling?

[Verse 2]
Is it a lighthouse shining in the night?
(No, I believe it's a star twinkling up on high)
It's clearing now, my eyes are drying
And I can see You sailing out across the sky
Out across the sky

[Pre-Chorus]
This is not a dream
You've taken flight far above the world
You walk on clouds
You ride the light far above my head

[Chorus]
Out across the sky
Out across the sky
I'm out across the sky

[Bridge]
The ground is gone
I'm dancing on the wind
I'm dancing on the wind

[Verse 3]
Ain't no packing bags when your voyage is to the sun
Ain't no last good-byes when heaven calls you on
Hard to believe this dreary night is gone
But I can feel it's meant for everyone
It's meant for everyone

[Pre-Chorus]
This is not a dream
You've taken flight far above the world
You walk on clouds
You ride the light far above my head

[Chorus]
Out across the sky
Out across the sky
I'm out across the sky

[Outro]
Out across the sky
Far above the world
Out across the sky
Far above my head
Out across the sky
Out across the sky
Out across the sky
