I pick a star shining so bright
And I spread my wings, then wonder why
When you’re holding the whole thing
I know you’re holding the whole thing

You take the sunshine, you take the rain
And you wonder why I can’t do the same
But you’re holding the whole thing
I know you’re holding the whole thing

Do you ever see me when I fly
Painting all the colors in the sky
When you’re holding the whole thing
I know you’re holding the whole thing

There are days I compromise
And I try to see life through your eyes
But you’re holding the whole thing
I know you’re holding the whole thing

I will never know the reason why
You never falter, you never cry
And you’re holding the whole thing
I know you’re holding the whole thing

But do you ever wake up in the morning
Feeling like your strength might just give way
Do you ever see me when I'm falling through this hole
And wonder if you should let go
Of me

Do you ever see me when I fly
Painting all the colors in the sky
When you’re holding the whole thing
I know you’re holding the whole thing
Holding the whole thing
I feel you holding the whole thing
