Barriers
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.
If I could move you
in the way you move me
If I could take you
in the way you're taking me
If I could I would
If I could break down
the barriers you're building
If I could break down
the barriers you're building
Baby I'm gonna
Break down the barriers
Break down the barriers
Unlike the teacher
I will not stand too firm
Time is the preacher
and though I've lived
I still can learn
If I could I would
If I could break down
the barriers you're building
If I could break down
the barriers you're building
Well baby I'm gonna
Break down the barriers
Break down the barriers
If all you do is run
to the things you've done
All you do is hide
the seeker will not find
I would lie for you
and I would die for you
But cause you
never hear me say
My love just like your wall
Will build up and build up
and crash down in the end
I'm gonna break down
I'm gonna break down
If I could break down
the barriers you're building
If I could break down
the barriers you're building
Baby I'm gonna
Break down the barriers
Break down the barriers
