The sky, also known as the celestial dome, commonly refers to everything that lies a certain distance above the surface of Earth, including the atmosphere and the rest of outer space. In the field of astronomy, the sky is also called the celestial sphere. This is an imaginary dome where the sun, stars, planets, and the moon are seen to be traveling. The celestial sphere is divided into regions called constellations. Usually, the term sky is used from the point of view of the Earth's surface. However, the exact meaning of the term can vary; in some cases, the sky is defined as only the denser portions of the atmosphere, for example.
During daylight, the sky appears to be blue because air scatters blue sunlight more than it scatters red. At night, the sky appears to be a mostly dark surface or region scattered with stars. During the day, the Sun can be seen in the sky, unless obscured by clouds. In the night sky (and to some extent during the day) the moon, planets and stars are visible in the sky. Some of the natural phenomena seen in the sky are clouds, rainbows, and aurorae. Lightning and precipitation can also be seen in the sky during storms. Birds, insects, aircraft, and kites are often considered to fly in the sky. As a result of human activities, smog during the day and light pollution during the night are often seen above large cities.
(Verse 1)
It was Australia day 1985
Nothing much was going on then
Sitting in the same old aisles
They where singing
Something about the rain
It was Australia day
And I'll never be the same
(Chorus)
Oo-ooh can you hear me
Oo-ooh can you feel me
Yeah
You're alive and well
Living
Under a Southern sky
Under a Southern sky
(Verse 2)
London's so far away
Right across the sea
Thinking about Australia dreaming
It's the heart of me
And I always say
It's the only place to be
(Chorus-varies)
Oo-ooh can you hear me
Oo-ooh can you feel me
You're alive and well
Living
Under a Southern sky
Under a Southern sky
(Middle 8)
4 am in Trafalgar Square
All I can think about is you
Can you Hear me
(Verse 3)
Winters coming on
I'll be coming home
To the land of endless summer
To the place where I belong
(Chorus-varies)
Oo-ooh can you hear me
Oo-ooh can you feel me
You're alive and well
We 're alive and well
You're alive and well
And Living
Under a Southern sky
Under a Southern sky
Under a Southern sky
Under a Southern sky
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Under a Southern sky
