Touch the Sky - Lyrics - Young Dubliners
The Young Dubliners is an American rock band, formed in Los Angeles, California in 1988. Their style of music has come to be called Celtic Rock, for the fusion of Irish traditional instruments and music with modern rock. They have released ten albums, starting with Rocky Road in 1993, and most recently 9 in 2013. They have toured the United States and Europe since 1994, and have supported Jethro Tull, John Hiatt, Chris Isaak, Jonny Lang, Great Big Sea, and Collective Soul. All Music.com states, "Their live shows a jam-like appeal, similar to the vibes of Phish and the Dave Matthews Band." Members include lead vocalist and guitarist Keith Roberts, bassist Brendan Holmes, violinist Chas Waltz, guitarist Bob Boulding, and drummer David Ingraham. Their repertoire consists largely of original rock compositions and Irish folk songs with a rock twist. Their influences include Thin Lizzy, The Pogues, The Waterboys and U2.

Eyes of a child
Simple and wild
Where did you go?
I see pictures of home
Where I'm never alone
And warmth surrounds me
Keeps me whole
I'd like to think we deserve a beginning
I'd like to think that we fight 'cause we're winning
Reach up so high,
Never touch the sky
Time passes by
The struggle goes on
And I don't feel warm
Anymore
I'd like to think that we'll all be forgiven
I know we sin, but it's part of this living
Reach up so high,
Never touch the sky
(Hey hey hey) We will not be underrated
(Hey hey hey) We're gonna fight until we make it
(Hey hey hey) The world at your feet
Reach up so high
Never tough the sky
I'd like to think we deserve a beginning
I know we sin, but it's part of this living
Reach up so high
Until we touch the sky
Oh, you're touching the sky
Your head's in the clouds
You're reaching so high
You're touching the sky
