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
