Walls of Sorrow

Cracked walls and leaking roofs

Empty cupboards, no relief

Feet on broken pavement Days drag on without relief (oh)

No way out from this endless grind

Hope fades with every passing sign

Trapped in these walls that crumble down

Fighting for scraps in this broken town

No light ahead, just the weight of the years

We carry the burden through endless tears (yeah)

Children play in the dust and dirt

Dreams deferred, hopes deferred

Hands worn raw from endless work

Still we rise though it hurts (hmm)

Trapped in these walls that crumble down

Fighting for scraps in this broken town

No light ahead, just the weight of the years

We carry the burden through endless tears (yeah)

Can we break these chains that bind?

Or are we left here

far behind?

Trapped in these walls...
