Sky in the Lakes

[Verse 1]
Beyond the village, the lakes hold the sky,
I look down—heaven’s looking back in my eyes.
Their still blue mirrors take my breath away,
And the wide-open country calls me to stay.

[Chorus]
Meadows and ridges, forests and fields,
My own native land, the peace that it gives.
So much room for the heart to unfold—
This is the beauty I’ll carry and hold.

[Verse 2]
My heart beats hard, like it might break through,
A song pours out of the open blue.
Is it the music, or the pulse in my chest?
I love this feeling—I know it best.

[Bridge]
I won’t forget it, not while I live:
Life is an art, and a heart has to give.
Here, with the earth and the sky spread wide,
I feel what it means to be human inside.

[Outro]
The lakes keep the heavens; my heart keeps the song.
This is my home, and where I belong.
