Verse 1 -
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 yr coat-tails and yr warm shawl
Up where there's an Everlasting Arm,
sends us out alone,
moves us out of harm
Ever-reaching always sweeping...
Verse 2 -
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...
Verse 3 -
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...
