Don't Let Me Hide

(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
