Statue Song

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Oh, what I wouldn't give to be that small To chase the rushing river to the waterfall [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Pre-Chorus] (They could never hold me in their arms) [Chorus] 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
