Dónal Campbell Walls
Walls of the mind Walls of the soul Walls of the heart Walls to hide behind No one can hurt me My walls protects me No harm may come No one too close Within my walls Lay my weaknesses Lay my fears Lay my shame My walls are my friends They act to protect me They are always with me They are my downfall Walls cannot be controlled They re programmed within Created and forged With fear and hatred My walls rise in a second They have names Self-denial Self-pity Goals in life As Regan to Gorbachev Tear down those walls! All I lack is the strength The walls have grown taller They have grown stronger They defy love They defy happiness Walls that bend and break the soul Walls that strain sanity Walls that shut out life Walls that protect a false world If someone should find out a way Please let me know My walls have got to go I just have to know how My walls impede my growth They hide my strengths They chase away the good They flaunt the bad Walls I created out of protection Walls I cannot destroy Walls of invisibility Walls of immense depth My walls deflect relationships Deflect passion Deflect peace Deflect love Did God intend for us to have walls? Are they a curse from below? Are they penance? When will I know? My walls have to go They have to fall Only I can break them Only I can make them Blame is useless Change is inevitable The ghosts are gone And I am alone Solitude the walls are down But quickly they can rise I must keep them down I must grow In God's kingdom I hope to go But please God Let there be no walls |
