Lyrics for Built to Last by Grateful Dead
Songwriters: Hunter, Robert C; Garcia, Jerome J
All these trials, soon be past
Built to last while years roll past like cloudscapes in the sky
Look for something built to last
And even more is asked of you, fate will decide the rest
Cross the sky now sinking fast
Three blue stars rise on the hill
One more star sinks in the past
All the stars are gone but one
You can walk on coals of fire but sometimes you must freeze
Show me something built to last
Show me something built to last
Show me something built to last and something built to try
Other times you'd gladly part with what you need to live
If we can't or won't forget it, I guess we could be through
Built to last till sunshine fails and darkness moves on all
Call it back you never will
A wind held by the collar, yes, a cloud held by the breeze
Three blue stars rise on the hill
All the stars are gone but one
You can take a lot of reckoning but you can't take it all
There are times when you must live in doubt and I can't help at all
Show me something built to last
Call it back you never will
One blue star sets on the hill
There are times when I can help you out and times when you must fall
Morning breaks, here comes the sun
Cross the sky now sinking fast
Morning breaks, here comes the sun
Say no more now, just be still
When you have done your best
All these trials, soon be past
Built to last till time itself falls tumbling from the wall
Look for something built to last
Say no more now, just be still
One blue star sets on the hill
Don't waste your breath to save your face
There are times when you offend me and I do the same to you
There are times when you get hit upon, try hard but you cannot give
One more star sinks in the past
