berlin...

It's like Berlin in my heart tonight
Walls built so strong, so high, so tight
No one can get in; I can't get out,
Afraid to find what love is all about.

But then I hear you speak to me,
I feel you reaching out.
You're breaking through the walls in me,
Knocking down all the bricks and grout.
These walls come crashing down
Crumbling, falling all around.

It's like Berlin in my heart tonight
Years of hate and putting up a fight
Keep me from letting your light inside
I can't count all the lonely nights I've cried.

But then I hear you speak to me,
I feel you reaching out.
You're breaking through the walls in me,
Knocking down all the bricks and grout.
These walls come crashing down,
Crumbling, falling all around.

It's like Berlin in my heart tonight
I am so tired of putting up this fight.
All these years I've survived and nothing to show for.
I want to feel alive, I want something more.

I hear you speak to me,
I feel you reaching out.
I realize all you want is me;
Now, I'm the one that's breaking out.
My walls come crashing down;
All that's left is me standing my ground.

It's like Berlin in my heart tonight
On the day that great wall came down and let in the light.
Now all I can do is just give you the praise;
Thank you for my heart of flesh and for your grace.

I heard you speak to me,
I felt you reaching out.
You broke through and set me free,
Knocked down the walls of bricks and grout.
Those walls came crashing down;
And I am left prostrate on the ground.
