lyrics

Hold Up the Sky
written summer 2022 (c) G. LaMonte

She's holdin' up the sky for everyone she's ever loved
Oooh, her arms are tired
She knows that ground below and every star hangs up abive
Now her world's on fire

She says I can't hold on
Gotta let go
For just a little while

Yeah, it's been a wild ride, she dug in where she could
She might have been a bad girl, but she done a lot more good
Ain't holdin' on to yesterday, the past is in the past
The future's burnin' down like it ain't made to last

She says I can't hold on
Gotta let go

May you find all your tomorrows where you'll love more than today
May you find the wind and wings to learn to fly
May you find that someone
May you find that someone
Someone to hold up the sky

She's lookin' at her children and lookin' to her grands
But they're all busy makin' sparks with their busy hands
They can't see the future for the smoke that's in their eyes
And she lets fly

May you find that someone
May you find that someone
Someone to hold up the sky

The future is a child
Arms stretched to the clouds
They may not remember
But they already know how

To find all their tomorrows where they'll love more than today
Yeah, they've got the wind and wings to learn to fly
May you find your someone
Hope you find that someone
Someone to hold up the sky

May you find your someone
Maybe you will be the one
Someone to hold up the sky
