'Was built a wall of loneliness The blocks were made of hopelessness No door, no gate, no openings A moat within the inner ring The sides sloped down to emptiness
'Was kept away the happiness With salty tears so copious The songbirds cried and took to wing 'Was built a wall of loneliness
The sky lay down in weariness Grey clouds did tire of dreariness So steep the walls no vine could cling So cold the wall kept out the spring All hearts cried out in brokenness 'Was built a wall of loneliness.
