Been the crawl of a mountain
Been a link in a chain
I've been scolded for stealing
I've been told to behaveI've been reading the forecast
Something's coming this way
But it's taking forever
I'm too tired to maintain that
I'm slowBeen a scratch on the surface
Been a clog in the drain
I've been melodramatic
I've been sleeping for days
I've been one in a million
Been a million to one
This is taking forever
Always seems to return that
I'm slowAll hands up, salute the Empire State
Faith be true, you know the way
Ten feet tall in this: an empty space
Fallen walls all around
Destroyed again
Destroyed againBeen digging to China
Been a fish in the sea
I've been talking to Jesus
But he's not talking to me
I've been reading the forecast
Something's coming this way
But it's taking forever
And I'm too tired to maintain that
I'm slowAll hands up, salute the Empire State
Faith is true, she knows the way
Ten miles tall in this: an empty space
Fallen walls all around
We'll build again
Rebuild againBeen the crawl of a mountain
Been a link in a chain
Been scolded for stealing
Been carted away
