The big man ain't so big no more He's curled up on the basement floor His worldly goods around his feet He's lost his mind trying to keep The more you gain, the 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 build, the 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
