This wind is bigger than me As I cling to the branches of a tree The house that I built with my hands is gone and I can't hold on any longer As I stand upon the rubble What remains of my little home I say to myself, if I built it before I can build it again even stronger O I'll start over again Like a spider I'll never abandon the web that I spin When the wind closes the door I'll just go and open it wider O the things that you can learn from a spider The ground is getting shaky When I think about moving on Saying goodbye doesn't take very long but it stings like a life-long venom I'll gently wrap it in linen And bury it softly in silk I'll pay my respects to the ones who have left Then I'll toast to the ones who are livin' O I'll start over again Like a spider I'll never abandon the web that I spin When the wind closes the door I'll just go and open it wider O the things that you can learn from a spider The birds and the beasts and the stormy weather can tear my little web down A home is whatever I choose to make it As long as I'm still around O I'll start over again Like a spider I'll never abandon the web that I spin When the wind closes the door I'll just go and open it wider O the things that you can learn from a spider
