Big Sky
Embracing Freedom Under the Big Sky
Lyrics
Big Sky looked down on all the people looking up at the Big Sky.
Observation of the vast Big Sky overseeing people from above.
Everybody pushing one another around
Describes people engaged in conflict and competition.
Big Sky feels sad when he sees the children scream and cry
Big Sky feels sorrow witnessing children in distress.
But the Big Sky's too big to let it get him down.
Despite challenges, the enormity of Big Sky prevents it from being affected negatively.
Big Sky too big to cry
Big Sky is too vast to express emotions through tears.
Big Sky too high to see
Emphasizes the immense height of the Big Sky, hindering a clear view.
People like you and me
Refers to common people, including the speaker and the listener.
One day we'll be free, we won't care, just you see
Anticipates a future freedom where concerns are disregarded.
'Til that day can be, don't let it get you down
Encourages resilience until the envisioned day of freedom.
When I feel that the world is too much for me
The speaker turns to thoughts of the Big Sky when overwhelmed by the world.
I think of the Big Sky, and nothing matters much to me.
Big Sky serves as a source of comfort, making other issues insignificant.
Big Sky looked down on all the people who think they got problems
Big Sky observes people who believe their problems are significant.
They get depressed and they hold their head in their hands and cry.
Depiction of people succumbing to despair and sadness.
People lift up their hands and they look up to the Big Sky
People look to the Big Sky for solace, but it remains indifferent.
But Big Sky is too big to sympathize
Big Sky's vastness hinders it from empathizing with human struggles.
Big Sky's too occupied
Big Sky is preoccupied with its own existence.
Though he would like to try
Although Big Sky wishes to empathize, its size prevents it.
And he feels bad inside
Big Sky experiences internal distress but remains stoic.
Big Sky's too big to cry
Reiteration that the vastness of Big Sky prevents it from shedding tears.
One day we'll be free, we won't care, just you wait and see
Expresses hope for a future where concerns are irrelevant.
'Til that day can be, don't let it get you down.
Encourages resilience until the awaited day of freedom arrives.
When I feel that the world is too much for me
The speaker turns to thoughts of the Big Sky during moments of distress.
I think of the Big Sky, and nothing matters much to me
Big Sky provides solace, rendering other issues inconsequential.
