Walls

How many walls I built,
And I got stuck inside them
All alone

How many walls I built.
Slowly brick by brick.
I closed the way to the light. 

Try to destroy them,
to escape from darkness 
But I'm too late 

In the dark inside the walls,
Sad but hopeful,
I need some sunshine. 

How strange 
Now I wish for a catastrophe 
To pull down the walls.
