Lyrics: The blue sky is blue like blue bubble gum,
but it prays to Allah, it prays to Allah,
and like the flavour of the blue sky and the bubble gum wont last,
so weve got to thank Allah before our chances go past.

I dont wanna be a grown-up like the grown-ups I have seen,
`cause the grown-ups I have seen dont seem to have much fun.
They dont get down on the floor enough to pray or play with toys,
when Im a grown-up, I wont want to be one

Now, if I lived back at the time of the Prophet
I know that he would be different, I just know hed find the time and
I would make him something, special like some paper planes or something,
I could race those planes with him or get a camel back ride.

The blue sky is blue like blue bubble gum
but it prays to Allah, it prays to Allah,
and like the flavour of the blue sky and the bubble gum wont last,
so weve got to thank Allah before our chances go past.

Id like to write a promise, I want you to make it too,
that if I misbehave a little, like I sometimes do,
you wont get really mad and youll be patient like the prophet.
I really love my promise. How about you?

The blue sky is blue like blue bubble gum
but it prays to Allah, it prays to Allah
and like the flavour of the blue sky and the bubble gum wont last,
so weve got to thank Allah before our chances go past.

To be a Mommy or a Daddy must be really, really hard,
so lets take a break together, cause I know how much you try.
Lets have a dish of applesauce, then tumble in the yard
and we can pray and we can play along with the blue sky.

The blue sky is blue like blue bubble gum
but it prays to Allah, it prays to Allah
and like the flavour of the blue sky and the bubble gum wont last,
so weve got to thank Allah before our chances go past.
