Written by Madelyn Read

lyrics

She took a brush and she painted the night sky
It’s an easy thing to do in a city full of lights
Stars shining from below
So it’s just blue

As she paints the streets the big dipper appears
Lampposts and houses shine bright and clear
Constellations below
In your home

What can we see when we turn on the light?
Are we human because we can see at night?
Or are we blue?

She looks out her window and the world’s on its head
Lights through her curtains illuminate her bed
The sky is dark but she lies awake
In her home

What can we see when we turn off the light?
Are we human because we can see at night?
Or are we blue?
