Take a look at that child living in a world of war
It could be yours or mine but not for very long
For now it's judgement's day
Tonight it will be killed
But maybe in your dreams
It comes around again to tell you lovely things
About a paradise where everything is clean
And everybody's nice and everything's in love
And everything is light
Where Mom and Papa wait
To kiss you good-night
To kiss you good-night

Oh mighty Jesus, where is the sky?
Where is that great wide open
Where I used to fly?
Where went my strength and anger?
Who takes the blame?
Are we just lost in life, without an aim?

Oh mother Mary, where have we gone?
So far away from you and from the sun
I send you all my love in a handful of darkness
In a handful of darkness

And all the things you've done
And all the things you've seen
And all the books you've read
Are spinning in our head
And every time you leave
And every time you stay
You'll always turn around
And think about the day
There's not much we can do
There's not much we could say
It's all about the things we do from day to day
And all the things we've done
And all the things we've seen
And all the books we've read
Stay somewhere in our heads

Oh mighty Jesus, where is the sky?
Where is that great wide open?
Where I used to fly?
Where went my strength and anger?
Who takes the blame?
Are we just lost in life, without an aim?

Oh mother Mary, where have I gone?
So far away from home and from the sun
I send you all my hopes
In a handful of darkness

Oh mighty Jesus, where is the sky?...
