lyrics

Behind the wall of tears there's a little girl
behind the woman's fears there's a little girl
emotion sways,
there doesn't seem to be another way to go
it's all I know

Chorus
Maybe there's an answer to my heart
maybe if I'm good and play my part
and when I'm feeling scared
I try to remember you're still there
I'm not brave but I believe you came behind the wall

Behind the wall of tears is a lonely child
behind the woman's fears is a lonely child
emotion sway,
they've all got to have their way
they don't bear the blows, they just give me away

When I have a heart that can love
when I have a heart that can give
someday you will see all that I can be
and you will be glad that you came with me
behind the walls

Behind the wall of tears is a face
behind the woman's fears there's a place
emotion sway,
it all got in the way
now there's nothing left to do
but tell it all to you
