Morning comes slowly out from the eastern skies There is no warning for wanting to say Goodbye This hellish weather is pushing us further inside How long can a summer bird stay the winter and still be alive? You can build me up But you can't tear me down These stairs are made of stone I won't get kicked around I have seen many seasons and learned things that opened my eyes But even the wise ones find heart to be stronger than mind These wheels must move forward, cannot sift through the dust that's behind How long can a summer bird stay the winter and still be alive? You can build me up But you can't tear me down These stairs are made of stone I won't get kicked around
