The fifth and final track of the Familiar Blue sessions is about radical optimism and features a ukulele I pulled out of a neighbor’s garbage. I think that’s a relevant detail. Don’t throw out your ukuleles, people. There’s no telling what’s inside them. PRESAVE IT HERE

The pale blue air
Of no one there
What do you care who finds you if you die tonight
From high school halls
To graveyard walls
‘Til Jesus calls and lays it on the dotted line
Let me see you shine
Let me see you shine
The chance you take
The bones you break
The choice you make won’t answer to the reason why
Chase it down
To higher ground
Repeat the sound and if you wake before you die
Let me see you shine
Let me see you shine
Let me see you shine your light
It’s all right, you can open up your eyes
And cry a little bit
Learn to fly a little bit
