Ivory Towers

In ivory towers we rise,
Craining our necks toward the sky,
Trying to shape all the clouds
By the strength of our hands

The valleys that carve through my past
Have calloused my heart and my hands
But shaped me into who I am
Now I'm above

I don't want to leave this tower
I'm so at peace
Height of heights: you have robbed me of life's simple gifts
So lower me down
Lower me down, down, down
Lower me down, down from this ivory tower

The rays of good fortune and chance
Have rested on balconies' edge
And whisper to me as their friend
"Don't you leave"

Reality is not there
It's weathered by storms of despair
Down seven hundred white stairs
That I have climbed

I don't want to leave this tower
I'm so at peace
Height of heights: you have robbed me of life's simple gifts
So lower me down
Lower me down, down, down
Lower me down, lower me down, down, down
Lower me down, down from this ivory tower
