Jericho

The way out of here seems clear

But the doors won’t open I fear

The windows are locked and shuttered down

Lost with no desire to be found

You make my walls come tumblin’ down, tumbling down

You make my walls come tumblin’ down, tumbling down

You make my walls come tumblin’ down, tumbling down

Within the edifice of pride

It’s easy to hunker down and hide

As the perfect poser I am posed

My neon signs says I am closed 

You make my walls come tumblin’ down, tumbling down

You make my walls come tumblin’ down, tumbling down

You make my walls come tumblin’ down, tumbling down

Not so much afraid of rejection

Hesitant to brook affection

I’ll take refuge in the tower of light

And shed my security tonight

There is another hiding place

Where light abounds - its full of grace

So to that shelter I will flee

Where with new vision I can see

You make my walls come tumblin’ down, tumbling down

You make my walls come tumblin’ down, tumbling down

You make my walls come tumblin’ down, tumbling down

You make my walls come tumblin’ down, tumbling down

You make my walls come tumblin’ down, tumbling down

You make my walls come tumblin’ down, tumbling down
