Why must these walls I have so carefully built
Why must they come on down?
When I have stacked them for years
Filled with abuse, disregard, and tears
Why must they come crumbling down?

I don't really want the unfamiliar around
It's a cold, lonely feeling
There's only so much I can take
Then eventually I break
Can't I just handle the things that I know?

Will the feelings of emptiness within me erase
Or does it just fill more?
I try to tell my heart what it should feel
But that just leads to more time spent to kneel
Well, is that enough?

I long for the answers that humbles my heart
Create inside of me more than just a scar
Go ahead and tear all of my walls on down
Please help me break them down
I simply cannot do it alone

Peel back the layers of my description
Show me the blessings of this blended place I see
Reflect upon me what is worth salvaging
And what I need not worry
And prove the unforeseen possibilities
