Hey, Hey, Cumulus Cloud

Hey, hey, cumulus cloud,

Are we screaming a bit too loud?

Way up there in the clear, blue sky,

Infinite ephemeral, do you wonder why?

    In this brief, momentous flash

    Our personalities sometimes clash

    Living sometimes becomes a chore

    When you don't know what you're looking for

    --And there is fear.

Hey, hey, cumulus cloud,

Are we crying a bit too loud?

Way up there in the clear, blue sky,

Drifting, floating, do you wonder why?

    In our short earthly existence

    We see famine war and violence

    So we feel lost, it makes no sense

    Helpless born and helpless since

    --And there is fear.

Hey, hey, cumulus cloud,

Are we groaning a bit too loud?

Way up there in the clear, blue sky,

Way above us, do you wonder why?

    The labor of living is a lot to bear

    The burden's too heavy not to share

    But we go through life mostly alone

    And so we weep, yell and moan

    --And, as always, there is fear.

Hey, hey, cumulus cloud,

Are we singing a bit too loud?

Way up there in the clear, blue sky,

Observing us, do you wonder why?

    We've finally found more than what we see

    We've found love, and life, and WE

    No time, no fear, there's no space

    And when we die, we leave this place

    --There is hope.
