I built her a tower when I was young—
Sometime she will die—
I built it with my hands, I hung
Stones in the sky
Old but still strong I climb the stone—
Sometime she will die—
Climb the steep rough steps alone
And weep in the sky
Never weep, never weep
Never weep, never weep
Never be astonished, dear
Always expect change
Never run away in fear
Nothing is strange
We have seen the human race
Capture all its dreams
Every dream we dare to chase
Except for peace
But never weep, never weep
Never weep, never weep
Never weep, never weep
Never weep, never weep
Take your mind to a place
Where Nature sings
In good time you may find
You have sprouted wings
Beware these are the failing years--
They will go deep
Darlin' wash away your tears
Never weep
Never weep, never weep
Never weep, never weep
Never weep, never weep
Never weep, never weep
