Lyrics

A wall of denial is falling down
Whoa it's fallin' so hard
Down to the ground
Never knew something so strong
Could be washed away by tears
But this wall of denial
Was just built on fear
We've all had our demons
From the garden of white lies
Dressed them, amused them
Pulling' wool over our eyes
Go so far as to love them
To keep from letting them go
All the while they were killin' us
But we couldn't let it show
No matter what the trouble
We carry round inside
We're never safe from the truth
But in the truth we can survive
When this wall of denial
Comes tumbling down
Down to the ground
Simple things in life
Bring the greatest pleasure
A smile, a kiss, a little baby's laughter
It makes no difference
If we run away in fear
The little things in life
Hold us so near
No matter what the trouble
We carry round inside
Never safe from the truth
But in the truth we can survive
When this wall of denial
Comes tumblin' down
Yeah this wall of denial
Must tumble down
Down to the ground
