The walls are all surrounding   What's behind the paint?   I put up all my hangings,   But do they hide the stains?   All the pictures on the paper   Never changed the way I look inside   I'm surfacing to the light      Chorus   Walls peeling around me   Crumbling, falling   Can't hold them up   Walls peeling around me   We're standing so proudly   Can't hold them up to Your light      The truth is now likening   The rich to the beggars   A name is just a name   When you're powerless and pained   And shalom's far away   See, the mighty walls will tremble   With nothing left to keep this front alive   Held up to the light      Chorus      Chorus   Walls all crumble around me   Tumbling, falling   Can't hold them up   As hard as I try   Walls, peeling around me   And you see through the proudest   And I can't hold them up to Your light   Held to the light
