Yoko Ono: "Sky People" (1985)

A very great song written by Yoko Ono and from the album "Starpeace" in 1985.

"Starpeace" is Yoko Ono's 1985 concept album, designed to spread a message of peace around the world as an opposition to Ronald Reagan's "Star Wars" missile defence system. As with most Ono albums it did not chart extensively but the single release of "Hell in Paradise" reached #16 on the US dance charts. In 1986, Ono set out on a critically acclaimed world tour to accompany the album's message.

Words, music, concept and vocals by Yoko Ono.

"Sky People" (Ono):

I stopped flying a long time ago
Thinking thats just for the birds and bees
But when I look up (I look up)
And see the sky, (see the sky)
I like the blue and I know why

You came from zeus, we come from uranus
Hoping to meet soul to soul
We see you clearly, (clearly)
With our third eye, (with our third eye)
Theres no more fear and I know why

Sky people, thats what we are
Sky people, thats what we are
One day well fly and leap through the sky
To look for a good land hand in hand

Sky people, thats what we are
Sky people, thats what we are
Sky people, thats what we are
Sky people, thats what we are
