Music by Elton John

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin



Well they say that it's a fact

If you watch the sky at night

And if you stare into the darkness

You might see celestial light



And if your heart is empty

And there's no hope inside

There's a chance you'll find an answer in the sky



Well they say that it's a shame

If you have nothing to believe

And if you can't hold on to something

You might as well die where you sleep



You don't need a prayer

And there's no price to ask why

Sometimes you'll find an answer in the sky



And it's all so much bigger than it seems

And it all overwhelms us now and then

And I'm banking on a chance we believe

That good can still control the hearts of men



Sometimes you'll find an answer in the sky



This life's a long old road

We shouldn't have to walk alone

But if you find the right companion

You won't feel so worn out when you've grown



All life is precious

And every day's a prize

And sometimes you'll find an answer in the sky
