Behind the Wall

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Forty-eight years of life, lines on my face
Built a wall to shield my loved ones in this place
Three children, family dear
My world revolves around them, year after year

(Chorus)
But behind the wall, I'm lost and alone
Longing for connection, a heart of stone
I've shut myself in, for their sake
Yet emptiness echoes, my soul it does ache

(Verse 2)
I've given up my dreams, my passions, my fire
To provide and protect, my one desire
But in the silence, I hear my heart
Whispering "is this all there is?" from the very start

(Chorus)
But behind the wall, I'm lost and alone
Longing for connection, a heart of stone
I've shut myself in, for their sake
Yet emptiness echoes, my soul it does ache

(Bridge)
My children grow, their paths unfold
Leaving me with memories, a love grown old
I've lived for them, now what's left for me?
A life unlived, a soul yet to be free

(Chorus)
But behind the wall, I'm lost and alone
Longing for connection, a heart of stone
I've shut myself in, for their sake
Yet emptiness echoes, my soul it does ache

(Outro)
Perhaps it's time to break down the wall
Let love and light, once more, stand tall
For in the end, it's not just them I've saved
But myself, from this lonely, isolated cave
