Walls

Everybody's building walls everywhere round themselves and the world and nobody cares Nobody's looking out left or right their blinders straighten their power of sight Leaders and dreamers, societies and priests have buried respect to satisfy their own needs You are building walls around yourselves in your lives and it makes you feel safer, it can make you feel all right But you forgot the windows, you just cannot look outside Walls around your loneliness for a place to hide Built yourself a fortress for the values you ain't got Store them in a cellar where they're getting damp and rot Here or there a loophole where you fire out your grief Castles without windows, everybody out of reach You can't help vibrations penetrate the mightiest walls Like the waves of echoes can tear down imprisoning halls You can feel it coming, it's no threat, but you are scared You don't want to be relieved, it'll be too much to dare. |
