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
