We build walls
Walls of steel, walls of stone
Walls of wills, walls of misunderstanding

In the hope that they protect us
In faith, in fear
What do walls but divide us?

We build them tall
Thick, strong
That’s their weakness, their curse

We cannot watch the beauty beyond the next hill
We cannot share, we cannot grow
And you will tell me it is protecting me

To grow
To learn
You’ll need to be open
Willing
To walk outside the castle walls

Willing to trust
Willing to try
You’ll need to abandon beliefs
Willing
To walk outside the castle walls

Weakness is what makes you strong
It makes you free, to make mistakes
How else do you grow, but from weakness?

The sun needs the dark to shine
The little needs the tall, the warmth needs the cold
There is nothing wrong to be in need of something else

To grow
To learn
You’ll need to be open
Willing
To walk outside the castle walls

Willing to trust
Willing to try
You’ll need to abandon beliefs
Willing
To walk outside the castle walls

So, when you tell me the walls are protecting me
I ask from what?

From wisdom? From understanding? From friendship? From love?
I ask from what?

You need to be willing
To walk outside the castle walls
