(Lyrics – M.Novak, C. Webster    Music – K. Johnson)

 

Looking for hope in a bottle

Is not life’s best model

When that bottle runs dry

You give it another try

Any way you get high

It’s just a handful of sky

 

Getting high was cool

It started in school

It was a promise of paradise

We were told it was wise

It was found to be a lie

It was another empty sky

 

CHORUS

What we were taught to believe – was a handful of sky

A Handful of Sky

What we were told we need – it  was a handful of sky

A Handful of Sky

What we saw on TV, we were pleased to be naive –  it was a handful of sky

A Handful of Sky

We were promised immortality  – It’s just a handful of sky

 

 

 

Well I’m tryin’ my best

Just like all the rest

It’s an illusive delusion

And it’s frought with confusion.

It seems the harder I try

I just get a handful of sky

 

 

 

The good book says live forever

Empty words but very clever

Good book says follow the rules

But those are empty words they’ll make you fools

Good book is pages of lies

Just another handful of sky.

 

 

CHORUS

 

Day to day living you’re never satisfied

Coming up empty and it’s hurting your pride

The merry- go –round with the carrot in site

Constant reaching such a fruitless plight

People wanting their piece of the pie

It’s just all a handful of sky.

 

 

A Handful of Sky

It’s just all a handful of sky
