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 coattails and yr 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.
../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...
