Lyrics:

“Walls Can Fall”

I once stood in the darkness
I couldn’t see a light
Backed up against the wall
I built around my lifeI’d run out of reasons
To ever love again
But somehow you found a door
And you came waltzing in

Walls can fall, storms can end
Skys can clear, hearts can mend
All it took was your sweet love
To rise above it all
You can build ’em strong and tall,
But walls can fall

Here we stand together
With stones enough to build
A bridge into forever
Beyond the highest hill
The past will fade behind us
If we let the future shine
Not a thing can come between us
If we always keep in mind, that

Walls can fall, storms can end
Skys can clear, hearts can mend
All it took was your sweet love
To rise above it all
You can build ’em strong and tall,
But walls can fall

You can build ’em strong and tall
But walls can fall…
