'Cause I know that time has
numbered my days
And I'll go along with
everything you say
But I'll ride home laughing
look at me now
The walls of my town
they come crumbling down
And my ears hear the
call of my unborn sons
And I know their choices
color all I've done
But I'll explain it all to
the watchman's son
I ain't ever lived a year
better spent in love
'Cause I'll know my
weakness know my voice
And I'll believe in
grace and choice
And I know perhaps
my heart is farce
But I'll be born
without a mask
Like the city that nurtured
my greed and my pride
I stretched my
arms into the sky
I cry Babel Babel
Look at me now
The walls of my town
they come crumbling down
You ask where will we stand
in the winds that will howl
As all we see will
slip into the cloud
So come down from your
mountain and stand
where we've been
You know our breath
is weak and our body thin
Press my nose up to
the glass around your heart
I should've known I was
weaker from the start
You'll build your walls
and I will play my bloody part
To tear
Tear them down
Well I'm gonna
tear tear them down
'Cause I'll know my
weakness know my voice
And I'll believe in
grace and choice
And I know perhaps
my heart is farce
But I'll be born
without a mask
