If Walls Could Talk

Born into this life I see The horror around me Don't want to be here but here I am Didn't want to hear the words But through the cracks I heard I try to escape But my legs are small and weak And they do not run I can see, how could we know If I change the past, will the memory go? We better run like hell If these walls could talk The stories they'd tell Pictures on the wall Terror behind them all They are silent Why do they scream so loud? Generation after generation A circle of spiritual starvation Am I just another link in the chain That binds me to the past? I can see, how could we know Just an innocent left with tomorrow Turn the page If I had a choice, would I stop this rage? Paint it white If I burn these walls will they turn to light? We better run like hell If these walls could talk The stories they'd tell All, in time, will be told Let these ashes speak Let the truth unfold All will be well If these walls could talk The stories they'd tell
