LYRICS:

I dreamed I walked down city streets
In early morning cold and bleak
And no one else could be seen there at all
The buildings grey, the sidewalks too
Which pierced the city's heart straight through
To find the empty echoes of its walls

I wondered where the people went
When all I saw were figures bent
Against the wind that blew and blew and blew
I searched them for a friendly trace
But found they could not see my face
That I was just a bending figure too

[CHORUS]
Wandering through concrete walls
A labyrinth of desolation calls
And we are lost and we are found
And we are buried 'neath the ground
And one day isolation finds us all

So why the do we hide away
From all the shining light of day
When we could dance and we could play and glow?
And dreams could run beside us then
Instead of fading, trapped and waiting
Under blocks and tombs built out of stone


And hid behind the city's walls
I found that there I felt so small
Despite the roaring crowds that filled its veins
I feared to throw the walls away
For what the figures might then say
And knew that they were feeling all the same

Afraid to fall between the cracks
Of all the love the world lacks
But what if we could let go of our fear?
Throw down the walls of concrete bare
Cast out the lonely echoes there
And fill the silence with good song and cheer?

[Chorus]

A knock up on the walls reveals
Their concrete walls are hollow still
Filled up with anguished cries and lonely tears
But somewhere past the city streets
The sun still shines and hearts still beat
A rhythm made of love instead of fear

And someday even dreams will end
And we can still wake up again
Come out and let the world come inside
For each of us seeks out a place
Where all the walls have been erased
Where love and laughter have no need to hide

[Chorus]
And we would never have to be alone.
