Walls Fall Down

from Teach, Inspire, Be Real by Diane Patterson

about

After $2000 worth of my gear was stolen while I was performing at a big summer festival in Amsterdam, I spent some days contemplating human nature, integrity, theft, protection and walls, and hoping that true human connection makes walls less relevant.

lyrics

Walls Fall Down

My heart bursts through this tight-wound chest
Now life and love my blood refresh
My castle walls have fallen down
And here sit I on sacred ground
The living nature all around
and none to miss the walls
Walls fall down, thank god they always do
Walls fall down
And so I wander like the tide
Here and there with songs I find
To greet the unknown where I roam
To meet the faces in their homes
To share abundance where there’s lack
Expecting only friendship back
And none to miss the walls
Walls fall down, thank god they always do
Walls fall down, for centuries they stand then too
Walls fall down, thank god they always do
Walls fall down
If folks come far to seek the light
We can share it is alright
What’s a life but reaching far
To give and share of who we are
Before young thieves are want to find
Themselves in lack, our walls to climb
Oh none to miss the walls
Walls fall down, thank god they always do
Walls fall down, for centuries they stand then, too
Walls fall down, thank god they always do
It takes a heart with wings to see that
Walls alone can’t set us free
Walls fall down
Not one, no one, none, None to miss the walls
Why high walls
None to miss the walls
