Above the clouds, the skies are blue.
Even when your world is drenched with rain.
Don't give up; the world still needs you.
;
When life is dark, and good days are few;
Don't let your spirit start to wane.
Above the clouds, the skies are blue.
;
It's hard to imagine, but if you only knew
Your impact on others; your efforts have not been in vain.
Don't give up; the world still needs you.
;
Your strength is inspiring; your resilience, too.
And though you know both strife and strain,
Above the clouds, the skies are blue.
;
I may be a stranger, but I know this to be true:
There is still beauty in the world if you can survive your pain.
Above the clouds, the skies are blue.
Don’t give up; the world still needs you.
