  • I wonder how clear it must look from there to here
    No obstruction, this selfish corruption
    All in this atmosphere

    No fear, less tears, only time to catch my breath
    I fail to inhale
    Your love constricts my chest

    Confusion blinded me, mental and physically
    And it's because of you that now I can see
    So now can I run? I follow the Son and ride on to Zion
    And dance this last song of freedom

    But only time will tell, if it's truly for real
    Can't change your mind, all I know this is what I feel
    Whether I'm wrong or right, please keep my life in sight
    And never take you eyes off me

    [chorus:]
    As I look up to the sky today
    Well I can see you looking down on me
    It brings a smile to my face again
    Satellite

    It's truly one of a kind, like star shine, beyond night time, are you there
    My eyes stare to find, just what's behind this blind notion of mine, is it genuine
    Cause sometimes, it plays tricks with my mind, some call it asinine

    But it's like love or hate, now is that real or fake?
    Cause it's a real thin line, but that's your choice to make
    The question at hand, help me understand, is this your plan?
    I think I can, can I think, then I think I can

    Because I won't break (nah), and I won't shake (nah)
    With lifted hands to this Man (Jah), I'll stand in faith
    I'll make it through, my trust in you
    Close my eyes, make a wish, kiss the sky

    Hey there?-I see you

  • Nicholas from Inglewood, Cathis song is a great song. especially when you've gone to 12 funerals in a course of 10 years, those deacesed really do become satellites looking down on everyone they loved and knew.
  • Nicholas from Erie, PaThis song reminds me of when I lost a friend.
  • Glyde from Texarkana, TxP.O.D. is a band heavily focused on Christianity. The song may be refering to the death of Sandoval's mother, but it may also be refering to God.
  • Cat from Los Angeles, CaThis song is why I went out and bought this album.
