These walls they ring around us
Fences of our fears
Mustn't let them in, mustn't let them see
The scars of all those years
They are the child in our old souls pining for affection
Unused to the brashness of a world as brutal as the sun
Lay down these walls
Lay down these walls
Lay down these walls today
Without defences we are too raw to bare
No suit for the party, no rockets to launch
No veil for wear and tear
Where are those buried dreams, the faith that once was real?
Like marble statues underground, too frozen cold to feel
Lay down these walls
Lay down these walls
Lay down these walls today
Lay down these walls
Lay down these walls
Lay down these walls today
Let go, let in, something is waiting
And where my heart is beating
I have love to keep me going, going
Love to keep me going, going
Love to keep me going, going
Love to keep me going, going
Going, going on
Lay down these walls
Lay down these walls
Lay down these walls today
Lay down these walls
Lay down these walls
Lay down these walls today
Lay down these walls
Lay down these walls
Lay down these walls today
Lay down these walls
Lay down these walls
Lay down these walls today
