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
