Bring Down The Walls by Amos
It's not only you,
Who knows how the wind blows
Not only they who know just how the world must be.
It's not only she who
Is looking for answers,
Not only them, not only you, not only me...
Chorus:
Bring down the walls
And bring in the river
Bring down the lonesome, frozen clay,
And bring in the light.
Bring down the walls,
Throw open the windows,
And if we just hold on,
We just might find a place
Where just living is right
The justice has called,
And canceled the weddings.
The jester has answered all the phones,
Before they could ring.
The mothers in town
Have nailed down all the windows
And the merchants barred their doors, to go home and sing....
(Chorus)
Bring down the walls
And bring in the river
Bring down the lonesome, frozen clay,
And bring in the light.
Bring down the walls,
Throw open the windows,
And if we just hold on,
We just might find a place
Where just living is right
