Building a wall to surround you,   Gathering all your treasures around you,   Living a life apart.      Not having anyone near you;   Building a wall and making them fear you,   Saying you have no heart.      You're a fool if you think you can live   Your life without sharing sunshine and gladness;   If you think you can live without love,   You're building a wall of sorrow and madness.      You're building a wall to surround yourself;   You're just building a wall to protect yourself;   You're just building a wall to defend yourself,   But you're building a wall that will break your heart.      You're a fool if you think you can live   Your life without sharing sunshine and gladness;   If you think you can live without love,   You're building a wall of sorrow and madness.      You're building a wall to surround yourself;   You're just building a wall to protect yourself;   You're just building a wall to defend yourself,   But you're building a wall that will break your heart.
