You've seen the seasons come and go And night turn into day Your walls provide a haven, home For those who've lost their way

No fire, nor war, could bring you down Not even the harshest storm You stand, though scarred and weathered To remind us life transforms

And as I sit beneath you A tear rolls down my face You symbolize much hope to me For that, I'm filled with grace

And I wonder how long you'll be here for And all the things you'll see Will your walls remain a refuge For people just like me?
