The pillars upon this earth we’ve built
solidify and modify to hold our weighty ways.
And the tears we sweat,
drip by drip,
fuel the ocean’s sway.
And those songs we sing
blow the time in sync
cascading through our memories,
building these pillars
brick by brick.

The pillars grow larger, straighter
and those cracks still show,
but we’d never paint them over,
those badges of honor
remind the true tests we’ve known.

And soon we’ll be standing on top
labeling stars,
laughing at the little people
inconsequentials conquered thus far.
And I’ll always stand
weightless with my mind at ease
knowing you were the reason,
the base and the mortar,
that’ll leave my dying days
days in peace.

And you’ll always be there
standing right next to me.
You’ll be standing next to me,
You’ll be standing next to me.
You’ll be standing next to me...
