Walls of America - John Wesley

Christmas came and went again*

Well, no more will I hurt

Momma tries to play it off

Says maybe he had to work

You know I need next to nothing

But all you need is you

You build walls across an ocean

Walls I can’t get through

You see I’m standing here

Staring at the walls of America

Are you hiding there safe behind your walls

You know I’m stranded here

Searching all the walls of America

No more

you said, god she looks just like me

the first time that we met

you looked in me for signs of you

now it’s me that you regret

you’ve built walls across an ocean

safe behind you hide

an ocean i can’t swim through

for me there is no other side

well i’m standing here

staring at the walls of america

are you hiding there safe behind your walls

well i’m stranded here

searching all the walls of america, no more

skype dreams and birthday scenes

is all i know of you

i dream that you come for me and carry me, carry me into the arms of america

safe into the arms, of america

safe in your arms, to america
