Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You can walk, walk to Bethesda
There's no house on Mercy Street
You might get lost in the company of angels
Ignoring the stones tied around your feet
[Verse 2]
Yeah, you got to try for somethin'
Bend you knee and fight for somethin'
Learn how to die for somethin'
So you ain't livin' life for nothin', no
[Verse 3]
Rivers weren't made for drownin'
Souls were never made to fail
I raised Jericho around me
But these walls were built to scale
[Verse 4]
I framed a fortress 'round my heart
Carved her name in the old front door
So she would know love still stands
Here forever, even when she's gone
[Verse 5]
Love can be a heat wave
Love can be a cold rain
Shadows at play
On the walls of your room
[Verse 6]
Rivers weren't made for drownin'
Souls were never made to fail
I raised Jericho around me
But these walls were built to scale
[Verse 7]
Yeah, you gotta try for somethin'
Bend you knee and fight for somethin'
Learn how to die for somethin'
So you ain't livin' life for nothin', no
[Verse 8]
Rivers weren't made for drownin'
Souls were never made to fail
I raised Jericho around me
But these walls were built to scale
These walls were built to scale
These walls were built to scale
