At first sight the world is filled with light
But shadows soon creep towards you
Scared, you build a brick wall to shield you
Every time you hear a frightening sound
You keep on adding to that wall
When your wall is complete after many years
You see a crack and you look through it
You see the light that had been there before
A paradise filled with wonder
But that wall that you built to protect yourself
Is so strong that you can't get out
It was keeping you away from that light
You spend the rest of your life
Trying to break those walls
When you finally make a hole large enough
You step through to that glorious world
But it's too late, you have grown old
You only have a few seconds
Of that sweet sweet paradise
Before you wither and die
But shadows soon creep towards you
Scared, you build a brick wall to shield you
Every time you hear a frightening sound
You keep on adding to that wall
When your wall is complete after many years
You see a crack and you look through it
You see the light that had been there before
A paradise filled with wonder
But that wall that you built to protect yourself
Is so strong that you can't get out
It was keeping you away from that light
You spend the rest of your life
Trying to break those walls
When you finally make a hole large enough
You step through to that glorious world
But it's too late, you have grown old
You only have a few seconds
Of that sweet sweet paradise
Before you wither and die
