Don't ley me hide

Don't ley me hide
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
