I'm a sky of fools when I give my heart away.
I wanna be a man and I wanna live for today.

grande tolo
Sugestão. Primeiro pensei em 'mar de tolos', mas não coube no contexto, acho que 'grande tolo' ficaria legal...

o maior dos tolos
Sky is many times used in litterature and writting as a contrast with soil/earth/groud. The objective is to put the object high abole all the others, as sky is high above the soil (where nosrmal people live). So, obviously, the purpose of this expression is not just to state he is a really fool, but to place himself in that area high above (sky) all the other fools on earth. So, the contrast goes in portuguese as "o maior dos tolos".
