The big man ain't so big no more
he's cut up on the basement floor
his worldly goods around his feet
that he lost his mind trying to keep
the more you gain
the more you pray
no one 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 (6x)
once i walked a troubled road
crusading for a ransome loan
but a source of your joy contained
an initiation of pain
the more you build
the more you stay
behind the walls 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 (6x)
the more you live
the more you're sure
somethings 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't live inside
Don't let me hide (12x
