Higher Than the Wall

(Michael Henderson/Christopher Stapleton)



There are walls made of paper, an' walls made of stone

An' some, better made, out of livin' alone

I built a wall that no-one could break down

Locked up my heart where it couldn't be found.



You saw past my shackles an' let love unfold

Showed me the truth from the lies I'd been told

My heart was a prisoner, like no heart at all

So your love reached higher than the wall.



Higher than the wall, a thousand feet tall

High above the darkness where the blue shadows fall

Yeah, your love reached higher, where it's better an' brighter

Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall. (Wall, wall.)

Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall.



Now I'm wearin' freedom instead of those chains

Empty reminders don't cause me no pain

It's all gone away like the leaves in the Fall

'Cause your love reached higher than the wall.



Higher than the wall, a thousand feet tall

High above the darkness where the blue shadows fall

Yeah, your love reached higher, where it's better an' brighter

Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall. (Wall, wall.)

Your love reached higher than the wall.



Hey, hey...
