The Tower
Merry Ellen Kirk
It would be okay by me
If you were to wake up from your sleeping
Living in a world of dreams
Open up your eyes and you could see them
We built a tower up so high
Beautiful so all the world could see it
Thought that we could touch the sky
But it’s falling
We’re falling
Everybody’s got a dream
That we’re trying to hold on to
Maybe things aren’t what they seem
And it slips right through our fingers
Everything went up in flames
Leaving only skeletons of what was
Maybe it was all in vain
And always was
It always was
Everybody’s got a dream
That we’re trying to hold on to
Maybe things aren’t what they seem
And it slips right through our fingers
And all the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put it back together
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put it back together again
It would be okay by me
If you were to wake up from your sleeping
Living in a world of dreams
Open up your eyes and you could see them
Everybody’s got a dream
That we’re trying to hold on to
Maybe things aren’t what they seem
And it slips right through our fingers
