Everything Moves But You

When I was a child, I held to my mother tightly*
Then I grew taller and left to follow my dreams
I went after my dreams, and some of them brought me delight
But they didn't bring me everything I hoped they might

I fell into love like a skydiver in the clouds
It wasn't enough, no, we couldn't sustain it ourselves

All the things I pursue
Well, they stay for a season,
Then everything moves,
Everything moves, oh
My towers fall,
But you aren't leaving me
'Cause everything moves but you

I trained my body to run and not be weary
I worked and I read how to raise a better family
Then I bought a good house on the safe side of town, because I could
And as long as my life stays like this, I'm feeling good

Until my bones become brittle against my will
My heart is home, oh, to make the earth stand still

All the things I pursue
Well, they stay for a season,
Then everything moves,
Everything moves, oh,
My towers fall,
But you aren't leaving me
'Cause everything moves but you

You... I never outgrow you

You are a tree always in bloom
You are a hall of endless rooms
A living fountain springing up
I'm satisfied but never done
I'm never done
With you
