Tear down these walls (Levi Robin)

  In the days of my youth 

I fell in love with you 

like a raft on the river 

no paddles no use 

But all the rocks they took their toll 

each hit a bit of soul 

‘til one day down the river 

we fell overboard 

  

Wisdom come speak to me 

don’t let me be in the shadows 

shadows 

Wake up these tired eyes 

raise me high from sorrow, 

sorrow 

  

When I was young I found a road 

I saw but couldn’t show 

seeking and wandering 

deep into the unknown 

But I’ve strayed and so you’ve seen 

these wounds 

oh how they bleed red 

as the earthen war torn plains 

Refrain 

  

Like my father used to say 

good luck ain’t no mistake 

Know you have destiny 

Don’t you hesitate 

  

Refrain 

I place this hammer in your hand 

let me break let me shatter 

start again 

Tear down these walls 

let the roof cave in 

Restart 

Rebuild 

Relive
