I've come so far, and it's gotten me nowhere
Guess you can't outrun the past
My shoes are worn for I won't tread lightly
And it all moves so fast

With my arms 'round the sky, I cannot embrace it
Wind on my lips, but I can't taste it
I'm gaining on sorrow though I don't chase it, I'm
Keeping my eyes on the horizon

From Sun up to Sun down, there's only highway
Makes you feel too big and too small
In the morning I'm a beggar with hands overflowing
By night, a queen with nothing at all

With my arms 'round the sky

Sure, I've got a home, but it's not where I lay down
When we are apart, oh
What do you with the hole in your chest
When you give somebody your heart?

With my arms 'round the sky
