Lyrics Holding Up The Sky - Mary Chapin Carpenter

Holding Up The Sky

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
