Statue Song
You carved me out of stone
For 30 years you worked alone
You wore your fingers to the bone
You left your wife
You left your home
You spent the first year on my face
A gift to God in outer space
And at the end of every day
You packed your tools in your briefcase
But I had to stay
Oh what I wouldn't give to be that small
To chase the rushing river to the waterfall
And since my scaffolding came down
The tourists come from every town
They take their pictures and move on
Through the gift shop and beyond
Oh what I wouldn't give to be that small
To chase the rushing river to the waterfall
Oh what I wouldn't give to be that small
When the earth begins to shake I sway along
But you've been gone for years now
Did you find a new frontier out there?
My features are eroding
Without someone devoted to me
They just marvel at me
(They could never hold me in their arms)
Oh what I wouldn't give to be that small
To chase the rushing river to the waterfall
Oh what I wouldn't give to be that small
When the earth begins to shake I sway along
For 30 years you worked alone
You wore your fingers to the bone
You left your wife
You left your home
You spent the first year on my face
A gift to God in outer space
And at the end of every day
You packed your tools in your briefcase
But I had to stay
Oh what I wouldn't give to be that small
To chase the rushing river to the waterfall
And since my scaffolding came down
The tourists come from every town
They take their pictures and move on
Through the gift shop and beyond
Oh what I wouldn't give to be that small
To chase the rushing river to the waterfall
Oh what I wouldn't give to be that small
When the earth begins to shake I sway along
But you've been gone for years now
Did you find a new frontier out there?
My features are eroding
Without someone devoted to me
They just marvel at me
(They could never hold me in their arms)
Oh what I wouldn't give to be that small
To chase the rushing river to the waterfall
Oh what I wouldn't give to be that small
When the earth begins to shake I sway along
