There are walls made of paper, and walls made of stone And some that are made out of livin' alone I built a wall no one could break down Locked up my heart where it couldn't be found You saw past my shackles and let love unfold Showed me the truth from the lies I'd been told My heart was a prisoner like no heart at all Till your love reached higher than the wall Higher than the wall a thousand feet tall High above the darkness where the blue shadows fall Your love reached higher, where it's better and brighter
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 Your love reached higher, where it's better and brighter Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall
