Walls

you got me where I can't see
am I too short to see the agony?
am I not smart enough
to catch on
does my wisdom of life
not sing your song?
who died and made you
my earthly judge?
if I were me I'd walk 
through this sludge
life I will not hold back
too long too long
was I on crack?
uh well all I wanted 
was too excell
change the life others
now isn't that swell?
give hopes and dreams
who could never see
that walls were meant 
to be climbed 
not too hold back my destiny!
I got life in my bones
air in my body
a smile to light a room
no wall can deny me
just let me 
plant my seed in you
we will watch it grow
together for true
I want to guide you
provide you with a 
broken wing
show you how to
mend while you sing
as you climb the walls
that once broke your wing.
