​

Let my strength be unwavering, let my faith not be weak, 

as I struggle to find these words that I speak.

​

Desperate to change a heart that I can't,

so I stumble and mumble and I rave and I rant.

​

Thinking that I could tear down this wall,

or dig a deep tunnel through which I could crawl.

​

But I accomplish nothing, as the wall it expands,

so I lean against with my face and my hands.

​

And I feel the cold and lifeless stone

come between flesh of my flesh and the bone of my bones.

​

And I cry and I plead to please let me through, 

I just want to be on the same side as you.

​

This wall that you built, it wasn't for me;

but my words unbelieved, and my deeds you don't see.

​

The man you blocked out has been dying for years,

stuck in his grief, drowning in tears.

 

And he wouldn't let go, of the fears that I had,

the forgiveness forgotten; no good, only bad.

​

Drifted to darkness as you slipped away

Failing to hearken the prayers that I pray. 

​

But the man you walled out, is now dead, he's not me.

Take down just one stone and I know you will see.

​

That I who am waiting, is not he who has died.

You can love me and trust me, you don't need to hide. 

​

Please take down one block, and see what you seek,

and mayb just maybe perhaps we can speak.

​

But if not then okI'll still be here next day,

Still loving and waiting, and for us I pray.
