Holding up the Sky Songtext

von 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 mines the only one... the only one

[Chorus]
I wanna feel what the wind feels like
I wanna go that high and feel no fear except 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 you can do is watch it go... watch it go

You wanna feel what the wind feels like
You wanna go that high and have no fear except being down here
Holding up the sky... holding up the sky

I found myself between two lifetimes
The sunset and the dawn
I reached out and took the lifeline offered up to me
Between here and gone... here and gone

We want to feel what the wind feels like
We wanna go that high and feel no fear except being down here
Holding up the sky... holding up the sky

I wanna feel what the wind feel like
I wanna go that high and feel no fear except being down here
Holding up the sky... holding up the sky
