Holding Up The Sky - Mary Chapin Carpenter

I found myself between two places

Neither of them home

I could not recognize the faces

I've never felt so alone

So Alone

I found myself between two choices

To settle or to run

All my life I've heard the voices

This time mine's the only one

The only one

I want to feel

What the wind feels like

I want to go that high

And feel no fear

Instead of being down here

Holding up the sky

Holding up the sky

Life astounds us in an instant

Changing all we know

Blink just once

And then you've missed it

All that you can do is watch it go

Watch it go

You want to feel what the wind feels like

You want to go that high

And feel no fear instead of being down here

Holding up the sky

Holding up the sky

I found myself between two lifetimes

A sunset and a dawn

I reached out and took the lifeline

Offered up between here and gone

Here and gone

We want to feel what the wind feels like

We want to go that high

And feel no fear instead of being down here

Holding up the sky

I want to know what the wind feels like

I want to go that high

And feel no fear instead of being down here

Holding up the sky

Holding up the sky

Holding up the sky
