Lyrics

Tear Down This Wall

Lived my life a lone star
Built my fortress and made it strong
Lived my life my own way
Drew the bridge and closed the gate

Tear down this wall I've built
Weathered by years of guilt
Tear it down, stone by stone
Tear it down, am I all alone?

Many friends, many lovers
Yet no one to call my own
Hoping you will come my way
Fearing that you'll see my soul

Tear down this wall I've built
Constructed by the pain I've felt
Tear it down, stone by stone
Tear it down, am I all alone?

The winds of time
Will erode
The strongest stone
Flesh and bone
Only it remains

Tear down this wall I've built
Weathered by years of guilt
Tear it down, stone by stone
Tear it down, am I all alone?

Tear it down, this wall that I've built
Constructed by the pain I've felt
Tear it down, stone by stone
Tear it down, am I all alone?
