Don`t let me hide — текст песни (The Badlees)

(alexander)

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
