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
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
'Cause 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
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

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
