And the clouds were falling fast
You felt the rain and even tasted a drop
But I could see that it wouldn't pass
Where were you when rumbles shook the world
And I watched the sky falling down
I think heaven would've crushed you heartlessly
Cause you were too proud to run
But watch me
I'll hold the up the sky
So you can have a second chance to try
Chorus:
I'll hold up the sky for you
If it falls down tonight
The world's on my shoulders
Yeah the world on my shoulders
Run out from under while I hold up the sky
Keep it from crushing your life
Where were you when I fell down to my knees
You wouldn't even notice me
Ignore my pleas, but don't give me that shit
Walking to your death ain't being free
Yeah, watch me
I'll hold up the sky
So you can have a second chance to try
Chorus:
I'll hold up the sky for you
If it falls down tonight
The world's on my shoulders
Yeah the world on my shoulders
Run out from under while I hold up the sky
Keep it from crushing your life
Where were you
When your pearly gates came crashing down
Like a meteor
And you're so deaf you don't hear the sound
Where were you
When I held up the skies
Just so you wouldn't die
Chorus:
I'll hold up the sky for you
If it falls down tonight
The world's on my shoulders
Yeah the world on my shoulders
Run out from under while I hold up the sky
Keep it from crushing your life
I'll hold up the sky for you, yeah
I'll hold up the sky for you, yeah
