lyrics

How does he live with a perspective so far and wide
And the daily problems of the houses on his backside
It’s hard enough with all these creatures packed in the streets
But he’s never angry at the chaos beneath his feet

The blue giant keeps his watch

He’s been around for quite a long time, he’s felt so much
With the exception of another giant’s touch
In the distance he sees someone who’s just like him
But his roots are pulling him back and he’s got no limbs

The blue giant sleeps alone

Well pretty soon I’m gonna leave you for good
But a thousand others will take the place where I stood
I’m afraid if he doesn’t make a change, he’ll be lost with time
And he needs to listen to my every word, because I made the climb

You don’t make a sound
You spend all your days in the background
On your knees
You’ve lived your whole damn life as a set piece
