I built me a raft   Out of the trees   Picked the tallest ones   The ones that grew up with me      I tied my raft   With the tallest vines   Picked the strongest ones   Ones I haven’t yet squeezed dry      Safely floating away   My lantern dim   With a wick I didn’t light   I never even asked for a light      Serenading the sky   Under an audience of seagulls   This blue sky   Will I ever attain   This blue sky   Will I ever attain it   This blue sky   Will I ever attain you   Blue sky
