3  The Wall Song

What is to be done when someone’s whole life falls apart, and their foundations crumble?

Will they build walls, or open gates to let friends in; will they keep their faith in God or keep Him well out of the way?

Intro: E   B7   E        B7   E

E

I have built me a wall,

I have conquered it all,

           A                                       B7

And I don't need the world anymore.

             E

I have buried my pain,

              A

Till it rises again,

             E            B7            E

But inside me a little child cries.

                                         A                                E

Let me love you,  let your walls come tumbling down,

           B7                                 A      E

Little child run to me and be free.

E

I'll let no-one come in,

They may see how I grin,

                A                                        B7

But they won't see the pain in my eyes.

                    E

They won't understand how,

             A

I'm invulnerable now,

         E               B7               E

But inside me a little child cries.

                                         A                                E

Let me love you, let your walls come tumbling down,

           B7                                 A      E

Little child run to me and be free.

E

Friends are shadows long gone,

So I'll have to be strong,

                A                            B7

And I'll drink all my sorrows away.

                E

I'll keep building the walls,

                       A

Till' they're thick and they're tall.

         E                    B7             E

But inside them a little child cries.

                                         A                                E

Let me love you, let your walls come tumbling down,

           B7                                 A      E

Little child run to me and be free.
