everlasting arm

Lyrics

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 cocktails 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, 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, and going insane, up where, there's an everlasting arm, sends us out alone, moves us out of harm, ever-reaching always sweeping, there's an everlasting arm, sends us out alone, moves us out of harm, ever-reaching always sweeping, up where.
