Why It’s Blue

Kate Klim

I used to think that hearts were made of paper

Easy to give and shaped a Valentine

I’d wander off, never thought to fear my neighbor

Didn’t have much but I was satisfied

Did the world change or did I?

It’s still that same old sun

It’s still that same old sky

But it looks different now that I know why

Now that I know why it’s blue

I used to think that everything had purpose

Dreams would come true if you just wanted them enough

I’d ride my bike and if I made it past the corner

Felt like Columbus did, stumbling on America

Did the world change or did I?

It’s still that same old sun

It’s still that same old sky

But it looks different now that I know why

Now that I know why it’s blue

Thunder was magic, but now it means rain

And our sadness was tragic but now it’s just part of the day

Never imagined that it’s only rays of light…

Passing through… that’s why it’s blue

Did the world change or did I?

It’s still that same old sun

It’s still that same old sky

But it looks different now that I know why

Now that I know why it’s blue
