Did you think you were immune to this Did you think you could escape without infection You do all you're able to resist Just to avoid the danger of rejection
Memory warns you of the past When it all went wrong
When you think your life is shattered And there's no way to be fixed again Love heals your heart At a time you least expected You're alive like you have never been Love heals your heart
Everybody has a wall to climb That was built to guard the pain that holds them captive Every smile that they would hide behind Will try to mask the hurt beneath the surface
Sometimes it's hard to understand How we're trapped inside
Story Behind the Song: 'Everyone gets a tiny taste of love sometime in their lives that serves as a picture of what could be. Energizing, purifying, and freeing. Suddenly, in one fatal moment, life happens and fragments of hope scatter. Scrambling to protect ourselves, we construct a fortress to shelter our battered hearts. What was built to keep us safe eventually becomes our prison. When we realize our need to escape, we find ourselves institutionalized and unable to engage. That's when Love busts through the walls and sets us free.' - Brad Avery (Third Day)
