Please Tell me how you lift these heavy bricks And how you built this path for me to walk on You carve yourself in stones With the strength of all convinced But I know your skin Is still as thin as mine
What does it take to believe In all the things you believe? And maybe I need to listen more carefully
I finally know how you stand against the worst there is
You enjoy coffee and Debussy I can't believe the calmness in your bones After everything And when she dreams She sees herself in her Sunday dress Humming simple melodies She's known since she was only three
What does it take to believe In all the things you believe And maybe I need to listen more carefully
I finally know how you stand against the worst there is I finally found, The strength you've tried to tell me about
Oh, even when the sky is crashing down You, You locked your knees and stood up straight You are the strength inside my veins Oh, I want to feel the strength you know
What does it take to believe In all the things you believe? Maybe I need to listen more carefully
