I Saw The Brighten Sky And I Wished That I Could Fly The Air Was Fresh And Dry Oh! My… My… My… Suddenly The Sky Started To Weep When All The Birds Were Preparing To Sleep It Surprised The Whole Town The Sky Looked Black, The Land Looked Brown I Began To Think On What I Had Seen How Can Be These Skys So Mean?
