You used to know so well those weathered hands
When they were gentle
When they brought colour to your cheeks
They still do
But not the same
Because they turned their back on you
And when she's hiding at your feet
You know you'll stay
These sentiments are second hand
He's fighting for his heart but he is losing ground
She's unintended
Not unloved
And you're the one to keep her safe and sound
Don't look down
Even though they're looking down on you
The house you built on solid ground will be a home
In time, you'll see it
Don't look down
Even though they're looking down on you
The love you built your house around will make it home in time to see them through
Her shoes are scuffed
She drags her feet too much
But baby lift your face
You don't need to justify your place
So stay just what you are
You've come this far
If only I could show your future you would light up like the sun
These sentiments are second hand
She's fighting for your future but she's gaining ground
You are protected, you are loved
So show them who you are, make them proud
Don't look down
Even though they're looking down on you
The house you built on solid ground will be a home
In time, you'll see it
Don't look down
Because there's no one looking down on you
Your house is built on solid ground
You'll be just fine in time
Just see it through
Hey little light, aren't you a big achiever?
Hey Mrs. Might, I know that you believe in her
Hey Mr. Beaten Down, you found your heart again
In the hope that you built your house around
You gave your little light
You gave your little light a brand new start
Don't look down
Because there's no one looking down on you
The house you built on solid ground will be a whole new time, you'll see it
Don't look down
Because there's no one looking down on you
Your house is built on solid ground
You'll be just fine in time
Just see it through
When they were gentle
When they brought colour to your cheeks
They still do
But not the same
Because they turned their back on you
And when she's hiding at your feet
You know you'll stay
These sentiments are second hand
He's fighting for his heart but he is losing ground
She's unintended
Not unloved
And you're the one to keep her safe and sound
Don't look down
Even though they're looking down on you
The house you built on solid ground will be a home
In time, you'll see it
Don't look down
Even though they're looking down on you
The love you built your house around will make it home in time to see them through
Her shoes are scuffed
She drags her feet too much
But baby lift your face
You don't need to justify your place
So stay just what you are
You've come this far
If only I could show your future you would light up like the sun
These sentiments are second hand
She's fighting for your future but she's gaining ground
You are protected, you are loved
So show them who you are, make them proud
Don't look down
Even though they're looking down on you
The house you built on solid ground will be a home
In time, you'll see it
Don't look down
Because there's no one looking down on you
Your house is built on solid ground
You'll be just fine in time
Just see it through
Hey little light, aren't you a big achiever?
Hey Mrs. Might, I know that you believe in her
Hey Mr. Beaten Down, you found your heart again
In the hope that you built your house around
You gave your little light
You gave your little light a brand new start
Don't look down
Because there's no one looking down on you
The house you built on solid ground will be a whole new time, you'll see it
Don't look down
Because there's no one looking down on you
Your house is built on solid ground
You'll be just fine in time
Just see it through
