Walls(Winds Of Change II)
Ifound myself alone in the middle of the day -
I had no friends, I didn't know how to play.
Ilooked around and what did I see?
Four strong walls surrounding me.
Theykept me a prisoner for many a year -
They fed on my ignorance, or was it my fear?
Theyseemed insurmountable from where I stood -
I tried to "wish" them down, I did the best I could.
Thensomebody offered me a "ladder" one day -
The thought seemed appalling and I turned them away.
I'dgotten used to living alone in my "cage" -
I'd forgotten about love, and sorrow, and rage.
Myheart it grew colder, it was turning to ice,
Thinking became difficult, I was paying the price.
Thena "miracle" happened! It was all so strange -
A "dove" flew in on the Winds of Change.
Withthe voice of an angel, he sang me song -
My heart resumed beating, it was getting strong.
Hesang out so freely with honesty & love,
I knew in my soul he was a gift from above.
Heallowed me to "talk" and to "trust" and to"feel",
And he showed me so cleverly that the "walls" were not real.
Iwalked out of my "cell" (or self) for the first time in years,
Leaving behind me a great many fears.
Iturned to thank him and ask him to stay,
But on the Winds of Change he flew away.
