Bluer Skies from Bluer Skies by Eric Squires
I wrote Bluer Skies shortly after hearing about my brother-in-law's dad passing away unexpectedly. I had only met him once before, but he was the kind of man that drew people in. His love for Christ was immediately evident in the way he loved people. He was working in Afghanistan as a micro-financier when a bomb exploded outside his residence. Bluer Skies is my attempt to sift through unexpected loss. It is dedicated to the Kamaleson family.

Lyrics
Well my world came crashing down
The moment that you left
You didn’t plan it out that way
But it felt just like theft
The things you think are yours to hold
Get torn out of your grip
They leave you lying on the ground
They leave you bleeding from your lip
Tell me it will be alright
Though it will never be the same
Hold me in your arms so tight
We’ll see the light another day
Whisper words to bring me comfort
Wipe the tears out of my eyes
The gray clouds are only shadows
Obscuring bluer skies
You’re never ready for that day The one you hope you’ll never see
Then it hits you like a brick And leaves you sifting through debris
Unspoken plans suddenly cancel Dreams dashed upon the rocks
Things you once thought were for certain Now getting packed up in a box
Tell me it will be alright
Though it will never be the same
Hold me in your arms so tight
We’ll see the light another day
Whisper words to bring me comfort
Wipe the tears out of my eyes
The gray clouds are only shadows
Obscuring bluer skies
Tell me it will be alright
Though it will never be the same
Hold me in your arms so tight
We’ll see the light another day
Whisper words to bring me comfort
Wipe the tears out of my eyes
The gray clouds are only shadows
Obscuring bluer skies
