Terry's Song - Bruce Springsteen
Well they built the Titanic to be one of a kind but many ships have ruled the seas
They built the Eiffel Tower to stand alone but they could build another if they please
Taj Mahal the pyramids of Egypt are unique I suppose
But when they built you brother they broke the mold
Now the world is filled with many wonders under the passing sun
And sometimes something comes along and you know it's for sure the only one
The Mona Lisa the David the Sistine Chapel Jesus Mary and Joe
And when they built you brother they broke the mold
When they built you brother they turned dust into gold
When they built you brother they broke the mold
They say you can't take it with you but I think that they're wrong
'Cause all I know is I woke up this morning and something big was gone
Gone into that dark ether where you're still young and hard and cold
Just like when they built you brother they broke the mold
(Harmonica Bridge)
Now your death is upon us and we'll return your ashes to the earth
And I know you'll take comfort in knowing you've been roundly blessed and cursed
But love is a power greater than death just like the songs and stories told
And when she built you brother she broke the mold
That attitude's a power stronger than death alive and burning her stone cold
When they built you brother
