Remember
the years
They took all the children
and they locked them away
Where they taught them to pray
There were children each night
Who were quietly crying
They are in the walls
And the halls of my mind.
How many little
souls
That surely were dying
And they will be bury so deep
The shame that they keep
They will all be alone
In their Garden of Eden
Alone in the walls
And the halls of their minds.
"Oh"
he cried to his father
"Please come and help free me"
Now he longs to be free
Of the wounds you can"t see
And he tires of those demons
That keep him from sleeping
Alone in the walls
And the halls of his mind. |
He
tries to be a father
For his wife and his children
And he hides the pain
That will drive him insane
And that voice each night
That is quietly crying
Somewhere in the walls
And the halls of his mind.
Now he's back forty
years
To confront all his fears
And he reaches down in that hole
To the pain in his soul
Now he knows he is the child
Who has been quietly crying
All alone in the walls
and the halls of his mind.
Do you remember the years
When you were the children
They locked you away
And taught you to pray
And your voices each night
Still quietly crying
Somewhere in the walls
And the halls of your mind. |
