[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1: Mr. Goo]
Sparks from the fire rise up to the sky
Higher and higher, oh I want to fly
Out of the story, this time I'll be free
Wake up for a moment from this dream of me
[Verse 2: Mr. Goo]
Just a legend, cold words on a page
Lift up my eyes and I'm soaring away
On silver wings spread out to the sun
I'm leaving this city for the skies above
[Verse 3: Mr. Goo]
O'er the ruins and ancient light
Never lost, never failing
Follow me on my path to the heights
Before the shadows fade into night
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4: Mr. Goo]
Running back, but I'm out of time
I could tell everything
Hear the words that fill my mind
How can I say she was mine?
[Instrumental Outro]
The Skies Above was produced by 植松伸夫 (Nobuo Uematsu).
