Clear Skies Ahead
Childish Gambino

Verse 1:
Lost in the shadows, tryna find my light
Drowning in my sorrows, every single night
World spinning fast, couldn’t hold it tight
Pills in my hand, thinking it felt right

Pre-Chorus:
But I see a new dawn, breaking over me
Clouds start to fade, and now I can see
I don't need escape, I don't need the pain
Just the open sky and the falling rain

Chorus:
Don't wanna pop pills no more, no more
Find me on a clear path, on the floor
Dancing with the dreamers, flying high
Reaching out for clear skies in the night

Verse 2:
Faces in the mirror, they were never mine
Chasing after highs, running out of time
Demons in my ear, whispering their lies
But I broke free, left it all behind

Pre-Chorus:
I've got a new song, it's a melody
Winds of change blowing, setting me free
Heart on the mend, soul on the rise
Taking back control, open my eyes

Chorus:
Don't wanna pop pills no more, no more
Find me on a clear path, on the floor
Dancing with the dreamers, flying high
Reaching out for clear skies in the night

Bridge:
Healing in the sunlight, warmth in every ray
Found a new horizon, brighter everyday
Breathe in the freedom, exhale the pain
Clear skies ahead, come what may

Chorus (extended):
Don't wanna pop pills no more, no more
Find me on a clear path, on the floor
Dancing with the dreamers, flying high
Reaching out for clear skies in the night

Outro:
Clear skies ahead, I can finally soar
Lost those chains, never need ‘em no more
In this new dawn, I’m forever free
Living life and loving, just being me
