Walls - Redemption

Fifteen hours I’ve been staring at these walls

Waiting for the call that never comes

I thought I had figured it out

Giving you the benefit of doubt

Every day you build the wall

And I’m trying to break through

Brick by brick I’ll tear it down

Until I reach the other side and you

You’ve made us prisoners

And I’m trying to set us free

But the final stones between us

Could be the very ones placed there by me

Fifteen months I’ve been staring at the wall

Waiting for the day that never comes

I placed my faith in someone else

What did you promise to yourself?

It’s turned to dust

Did you build it just to see

Who cared enough to try to tear it down?

Fifteen years I’ve been trapped behind this wall

Waiting for the change that never comes

Still I try to open up the door

But it’s been oh so long

I can’t recall the other side anymore

I’ll be waiting

I will wait for you

I’ll be waiting

I’ll still be waiting
