Did you see the frightened ones, Did you hear the falling bombs, Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter in the promise of a brave new world unfurlled beaneath the clear blue skies. Good bye blue skies.

Roger Waters
About This Quote

This is a quote from a song called, "Goodbye Blue Skies," by Don McLean. The song was written in 1971 and it is a great example of a person who lost their belief in a better future. The lyrics go: "Oh, baby, I know how you feel, baby, It's getting hard to be happy, I know how you feel, baby, No matter what they say." This song is about how the singer lost his faith in the world and he is very sad because he believes that life is not worth living without his lover. He does not believe that his lover will come back and he believes that the world is not worth living in.
