  • 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
