to the folks who make the rules
I ask them if they'll help me
try to mend a thing or two
sometimes, when they answer me
with fancy shades of sorry
it's enough to disappoint me
but it's not enough to stop me
from breaking down walls
one piece at a time
I know it isn't easy
it sometimes makes me cry
but tell me, how could I not try?
I stand ten feet tall sometimes
and wish into the stars
beg to borrow me an angel
one who'll help me heal these scars
good changes don't come easy
and patience is my friend
sometimes breaking down a wall
means pushing till it bends
I'm breaking down walls
one piece at a time
I know it isn't easy
it sometimes makes me cry
but tell me, how could I not try?
some tell me not to reach so high
they say that I'll fall down
but here I am, I'm trying
here I am, still trying
I'm breaking down walls, one piece at a time
I know it isn't easy, it sometimes makes me cry
but tell me, how could I not try?
