The big man ain't so big no more
He's curled up on the ba!@&(t floor
His worldly goods around his feet

He's lost his mind trying to keep
The more you gainthe more you pray
Nobody comes to take it all away


But you're up there and I'm down here
With just the stairs between our fears

And walls made of foolish pride
Don't let me hide


Once I walked a troubled road
Crusading for a ransom owed
But any source of real joy contains

An initiation of pain
The more you buildthe more you stay
Behind to tend what you have made


But you're up there and I'm down here
With just the stairs between our tears

And walls we can't see behind
Don't let me hide


The more you live the more you're sure
Some things are worth losing for


But you're up there and I'm down here
With just the stairs between our fears
And walls we can live inside

Don't let me hide
