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)
