The walls are all surrounding What's behind the paint? I put up all my hangings But do they hide the stains? All the pictures on the paper Never changed the way I look inside I'm surfacing to the light And walls peeling around me Crumbling, falling I can't hold them up Walls peeling around me We're standing so proudly Can't hold them up to Your light The truth is now likening The rich to the beggars, oh A name is just a name When you're powerless and pained And Shalom's far away See, the mighty walls will tremble With nothing left to keep this front alive Held up to the light Walls peeling around me Crumbling, falling I can't hold them up Walls are peeling around me We're standing so proudly But I can't hold them up to Your light Walls all crumble around me Tumbling, falling I can't hold them up As hard as I try Walls, peeling around me And You see through the proudest Now I can't hold them up to Your light Held to the light
