lyrics

Cover up the weathered beams
Fresh paint over the seams
This old house was built in 1925
In a simple, peaceful time

Comb your hair, cover up the grey
Try to smooth the lines of your face
Your eyes have seen their share of despair
Reflections of the sadness you wear

Ask not why the building falls
Walls will crumble and so do we all
Ask not what the wise men say
Find your truth and live for today
Before it gets away

Flags will burn and cities will rust
Stories told, recorded in dust
Lessons learned, the wisdom of age
Knock it down, tear a new page

Ask not why the building falls
Walls will crumble and so do we all
Ask not what the wise men say
Find your truth and live for today
Before it gets away

Ask not why the building falls
Walls will crumble and so do we all
Ask not what the wise men say
Find your truth and live for today
Before it gets away
