And so with the explorers on my heels
I started t`wheel
Stepped aside stone walls, i was sick of it all
And so I set my sail
on your coattails and your warm shawl
Up where there`s an Everlasting Arm,
Sends us out alone, moves us out of harm
Ever-reaching always sweeping...
And though I struggled t`take my place
There stood my mistake
Standing there like some great big
Theatre curtain he knew for certain
I`d come down on you softly
Up where... there`s an Everlasting Arm,
Sends us out alone, moves us out of harm
Ever-reaching always sweeping...
Up where...
By and by the gates swung wide
Loved ones came in sight
Storming down the street like
Puerto-Rican kids in a summer rain
Breaking open the hydrants
And going insane
Up where.. there`s an Everlasting Arm,
Sends us out alone, moves us out of harm
Ever-reaching always sweeping...
Up where.. there`s an Everlasting Arm,
Sends us out alone, moves us out of harm
Ever-reaching always sweeping...
Up where...
