[Verse 1]
I wish it would rain and take the smog away
So that we can have a bright and sunny day
[Chorus]
The sky is gray when the smog fills the air
Hiding the light that shines through your hair
[Verse 2]
When the smoggy day evolves into the night
The air begins to clear because the traffic's light
We might have to use electric cars
To keep the smog from the sky so we can see the stars
[Verse 3]
We breathe in the smoke every day
With impurities leading the way
To sickness and heartache one day
I wish the smog would drift away, to stay
[Chorus]
The sky is gray when the smog fills the air
Hiding the light that shines through your hair
[Outro]
Hiding the light that shines through your hair
Hiding the light that shines through your hair
Hiding the light that shines through your hair
Hiding the light that shines through your hair
Hiding the light that shines through your hair

From the liner notes:
He left quietly, as he had come, returning to the land he had left behind and the memories of another time. On that day, one of the darkest in L.A., only his legacy remained; one angel more in heaven, one less in the City of Angels.
