shine bright mansion,
leave your lights on,
'cause your walls are too tall to clean the cobwebs from.
be strong be safe little table,
you'll hold up their heads when their belly's full.
I swear I"m gonna make this count,
I swear I'm gonna make you proud.
just tell me the story of what you found out there,
and what you buried here.
in the places that you find strength I will lay me down.
sing it softly,
hallelujah.
but the ground was still soft when you taught me how.
but now I'm gonna sing it loud,
I swear I'm gonna make you proud.
just tell me the story of what you found out there and what you buried there.
in the places you find strength I will lay me down.
where the sun sets,
where she meets the sea,
you found it but you left it there for me.
