Speak To The Sky.
Lyrics: Singer, Australian-American musician, actor and songwriter, Rick Springfield.
Vocals: Australian folk pop and gospel band “The Seekers” made up of the late Judith Durham (1943 – 2022) on vocals, piano and tambourine; former politican Athol Guy on double bass and vocals; Keith Potger on twelve-string guitar, banjo and vocals and Bruce Woodley on guitar, mandolin, banjo and vocals.
“Speak to the Sky,” performed by The Seekers and featuring the unmistakable voice of Judith Durham, is a gentle and uplifting song that reflects the group’s signature blend of folk, pop, and easy-listening styles. Originally written and released by Rick Springfield in 1972, the song was later reinterpreted by The Seekers on their 1997 album ‘Future Road’.
With its soothing melody and reflective lyrics, The Seekers’ version captures a sense of hope, introspection, and emotional openness. The song encourages listeners to look beyond their struggles, to “speak to the sky,” and find comfort in expressing their feelings; an idea that resonates deeply through Durham’s warm and heartfelt vocal delivery.
Speak To The Sky.
Speak To The Sky.
Speak to the sky whenever things go wrong,
And you’ll know you’re not talking to the air,
To the air,
And the world will look better from up there.
Speak to the sky ’cause things can get you down,
And you’ll know when you’re talking to the Lord,
To the Lord,
The world will look better than before.
And if I stumble, and it seems that I am blind,
Or if the road I’m on seems awful hard to find,
And though my conversation doesn’t always rhyme,
I always try to find some time,
To speak to the sky, and tell you how I feel,
And you know sometimes what I say ain’t right,
It’s all right, (It’s all right),
‘Cause I speak to the sky every night.
And if I stumble, and it seems that I am blind,
Or if the road I’m on seems awful hard to find,
And though my conversation doesn’t always rhyme,
I always try to find some time,
To speak to the sky, and tell you how I feel,
And you know sometimes what I say ain’t right,
It’s all right, (It’s all right),
‘Cause I speak to the sky every night.
Yeah, speak to the sky whenever things go wrong,
And you’ll know you’re not talking to the air,
To the air,
And the world will look better from up there.
And the world will look better from up there.
Yes, the world will look better from up there.
Speak to the sky whenever things go wrong.
Speak to the sky whenever things go wrong.
Yeah, speak to the sky whenever things go wrong.
Speak to the sky whenever things go wrong.
END.
