OUT HERE UNDER THE SKY

WRITTEN AND PUBLISHED BY: J.R HILTON

 I WAKE UP TO ANOTHER DAY

NO IDEA WHAT I'M GOING TO DO

THINGS GO THROUGH MY HEAD

AS I THINK EACH ONE THROUGH

CAN'T DO MUCH OR GET TO FAR

THINGS BEING WHAT THEY ARE

I FIND MYSELF ON COUNTRY ROADS

I STOP TO STAND IN A FIELD

I TAKE A PICTURE OF THE BEAUTY I SEE

CAPTURED TO SEE FOREVER

HAWK ON A FENCE POST 

HORSE ON A FARM

I JUST KEEP DRIVING, I DON'T SEE NO HARM

SHEEP IN A MEADOW, BABBLING BROOK

I HAVE TO STOP TO HAVE A LOOK

PASTORAL QUIET TIMES

I PUT MYSELF IN A STATE OF MIND 

I KEEP COMING BACK HERE TO THE PEACE I FIND 

THE ROOM TO BREATHE AND CLEAR MY HEAD 

OF ALL THE JUNK THAT WEIGHS ME DOWN 

HOLDS ME TO MEDIOCRITY IN A PLACE I DON'T BELONG 

OUT HERE UNDER THE SKY

I COME ALIVE

SURROUNDINGS I MY LENS, IN THE GATHERING LIGHT

HOPE THAT WAS FRAMED JUST RIGHT

CAPTURED FOREVER

IN A CLICK YOU SEE WHAT I SEE

JUST ANOTHER EXTENSION OF ME

CAST IN THE MORNING SUNLIGHT

ON THE EDGE OF A DREAM 

LITTLE PIECES OF THE BEAUTY THAT I'VE SEEN 

AND THE UGLINESS THAT LAYS HIDING SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN 

EMBRACE THE MOOD, CATCH THE DAY

I SEE IT WON'T GET AWAY

PICTURES OF THE BEAUTY THAT I SEE 

AND WHAT MISS I'LL GET THE NEXT TIME AROUND

STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE 

CAMERA IN MY HAND

WIND BLOWING THROUGH MY HAIR

AND PEACE THAT FILLS MY SOUL

YOU'D HAVE TO BE HERE TO REALLY KNOW 

LOOK AT THIS PICTURE

YOU CAN SEE HOW IT ALL GOES

 I FIND MYSELF ON COUNTRY ROADS
