lyrics

Walls
(c) The Speeding Trees

Though day by day the world is stranger
I dream of one of that’s built on truth
And people’s eyes grow graver and graver
But in their hearts they’d welcome you

If walls were down
If walls were down

Along every inch of the road
lies greater danger
A million miles carves a hero
from a child
And up on your back is your load
And it only gets bigger as you go
But both friends and foes could lighten
What you carry every mile

If your walls came down
If your walls came down
If walls were down

But what kind of fool am I?
Calling for change, I point my finger your way
Hey, and right here I stay
I pile the stones and bricks to keep you away
Hate, and so deep i hate
The world that I see, I scream my lifetime away
Go, god why won’t I go
The obvious way
I would know

If my walls came down
If walls were down
If my walls came down
If walls were down

No, stop, i’ve been
Burned, build with
Bricks, it’s not
Safe to open doors
To all the lies

And bring more pain than what’s inside
So build ‘em thick and build ‘em high
Maybe it’s safe, and I could try?
No, I will not let myself be tried

I did not want this wake up call
Open your heart, bring down your walls
I did not want this wake up call
Open your heart, bring down your walls

Bring ‘em down
Bring ‘em down
Bring ‘em down

And see what you get
