I got this photo from my friend, Irena. This is South Africa meaning beyond this blue is Antarctica.
Beyond the Blue
Some songs start with lyrics that are basically musings that come to mind on a lazy, summer afternoon. This is that.
Beyond the Blue
A Asus A Asus
A Asus A Asus
You can feel it all around you where it’s always been
A Asus E E7
And you’ll find most of it’s within
A E7 A7 D
I’m standing on a beach where the sea meets the land
F#m D Bm Bm7 E
Listening to the waves wash through the rolling sand
A E7 A7 D
The comfort of warm, salty air can hold me here for hours
F#m D Bm Bm7 E E7
I love to be lost from care yielding to these powers
As far as my eyes can tell, there’s nothing here but blue
Yet, under sparkling waters countless creatures make due
From here, I look across the sea where mysteries abound
While blue sky above me hides the Universe beyond
Hidden from unknowing eyes are all things large and small
I wonder if I understand anything at all
These things all call to me like a Siren’s Song
An orchestra, a Majesty to which we all belong E7 A7
D Bm E C#m
Beyond the Blue lies everything, everything worth knowing
F#m D Bm Bm7 E E7
Beyond the Blue is everywhere where you could be going
My time here is very short. My life is very small
It’s a blessing just to contemplate the wonders of it all
I ask for only one thing to make life worth its due
F#m Faug E7 A
I would like share this curious place with you.
