Lyrics
These Walls
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In your heart there are oceans.
In your heart there are flowering trees.
Look inside and live inside these walls.
Your body yearns.
In your dreams you've seen castles.
In your dreams you've been kings and queens.
You've ridden white horses past these walls.
Your body yearns.
I'm not one to say I know what you go through.
I only wanna open wide the window and let sunlight through.
For you.
In your face, I see longing.
In your face, I see hopes and fears.
You've been locked for too long behind these walls.
Your body yearns.
I'm not one to say I know what you go through .
I only wanna open wide the window and let sunlight through.
For you.
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
What you feel.
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
What you need.
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Everything.
Take my hand and I'll lead you.
Take my word that I'll not deceive you.
I only want to carry you on beyond these walls
Your body yearns.
I'm not one to say I know what you go through
I only wanna open wide the window and let sunlight through.
For you.
