There are walls made of paper and walls made of stone<br />
And some that are made out of livin' alone<br />
I built a wall no one could break down<br />
I locked up my heart where it couldn't be found<br />
<br />
You saw past my shackles and let love unfold<br />
Showed me the truth from the lies I'd been told<br />
My heart was a prisoner like no heart at all<br />
Till your love reached higher than the wall<br />
<br />
Higher than the wall, a thousand feet tall<br />
High above the darkness where the blue shadows fall<br />
Your love reached higher where it's better and brighter<br />
Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall<br />
<br />
Now I'm wearin' freedom instead of those chains<br />
Empty reminders don't cause me no pain<br />
It's all gone away like the leaves in the fall<br />
'Cause your love reached higher than the wall<br />
<br />
Higher than the wall, a thousand feet tall<br />
High above the darkness where the blue shadows fall<br />
Your love reached higher where it's better and brighter<br />
Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall<br />
Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall
