lay another brick onto the tower you build
add another inch to it
carry heavy loads and put your back into it
on and on and on you go
don't you waste no more time on these things
raise your head
there's no more time for these things
you said your goodbyes and wiped the dirt of your shoes
left your troubles far behind
you no longer cry
nor look for comfort no more
you work under a clear blue sky
now is the time
so please come to the rescue
she's not as strong as she seems
your words will silence all other voices
so reach out your hand and take hold of her
add another inch to it
carry heavy loads and put your back into it
on and on and on you go
don't you waste no more time on these things
raise your head
there's no more time for these things
you said your goodbyes and wiped the dirt of your shoes
left your troubles far behind
you no longer cry
nor look for comfort no more
you work under a clear blue sky
now is the time
so please come to the rescue
she's not as strong as she seems
your words will silence all other voices
so reach out your hand and take hold of her
