I turn away, there's nothing to see here
Only a distant memory of how things
Really were supposed to be

And life moves on ever so quickly
I see my past, it flashes by
Like the stars in the sky flickering

And the years come around
Years come around, I'm left here praying
That the tears falling down
Tears falling down are worth me saving
And I don't know how to go on

Tear down the walls of your life
You can't stop them anymore
Tear down the walls of your life
And find your way

How long can this life carry on?
How long? Watch the walls
Watch them burning down
How long, how long must we run?

I lost my way when I was younger
I regret lots of things I did
Just maybe I didn't give quite enough

And the years turn around
Years turn around, their faces fading
And the years going by
Years going by, there's no replacing
And the souls will all carry on

Tear down the walls of your life
You can't stop them anymore
Tear down the walls of your life
And find your way

How long can this life carry on?
How long? Watch the walls
Watch them burning down
How long, how long must we run?

Tear down the walls
How long can this life carry on?
How long? Watch the walls
Watch them burning down
How long, how long must we run?
