Fortress

As the story of my life goes on
Every little thing
Goes into the mix
I gather all the strength and courage
And I gather all my time...

The first brick to go down is the heaviest of them all
I pile them up higher and higher
Till I can't see the other world
Now inside my wall I live with myself
Trying to make harmony
There's a garden here
And a little house
And nobody here but me...

I can hear the people talking on the other side of the wall
They are talking to me
Trying to break in
And set my soul free
But my hatred an strength have built it too strong
And now nobody can come in...

As time goes on
Weeds replace the flowers
My shelter is no more
I can't bear it anymore
The time has come that I want out...

I took my mallet and walked towards the wall
I took all my courage and took all me strength
I took that mallet in my hand
And the wall came tumbling down...
