Wall from Goodbye Lullabies by Meret Siebenhaar

If I could have built a wall
To protect me from failure, from pain, from grief
With faults I didn’t make and risks I didn’t take
I would have built it

If I could have built a wall around my heart
To not be hurt, to not be broken
Around my soul not to be abandoned, not to lose myself
I would have built it

If I could have built a wall
To protect me from failure, from pain, from grief
With faults I didn’t make and risks I didn’t take
I would have built it

At the point where I can’t see what a bearable life would be
Can’t see the light or even the tunnel I’m stuck in
Step by step I see a weak twinkling star or a soap bubble lasting long
And my beaten heart, still beating, staying strong, no walls around
Feels warmth for all the things that I can feel
The promise that without walls I won’t stand still
