If there are wrecking ***** inside us all
then I'm gonna use it to tear down these walls
we've built up to shelter ourselves
keeping us away from the grace of each others company
there's words here haphazardly spilled
and its time to clean up this mess of a life we've accustomed ourselves
to and pick up the pieces we've carefully laid out
side of our hearts waiting to be appreciated
but swept away into the gutter with every insult and chance
oh I know this precious moment can't last forever
cuz nothing lasts forever
but let's never end
these memories that we share
these moments where we dare
to just close our eyes and love instead of hate
oh let these walls crumble down
and let's embrace
all of us
the whole human race in one single place
I know and you know and we know
this time it'll never end
because we've only just began
and if you reach out with your hand
then ill reach out with mine
and ill pull you in
and ill pull you up
when these times get too tough
oh I know it's unbearable
but there are truths to these words:
we're in this together and we can make it thru
oh we can pull on thru to our own enlightenment of heaven
cuz there's only one chance we have to live this life correctly
so we tie our arms around each other
consoling our lonesome hearts with words we only speak for truth
and we watch these brick and mortar walls crumble
and enjoy this life we live together.
The first line is borrowed from the band Listener. Hope they won't mind.

Oh and this was written in about ten minutes and unedited so forgive any typos or what have you...or feel free to hold it against me. I don't really care.
