Lyrics Judy Collins – Walls
Text:
We are not forgotten.
Listen to my heart, look into my eyes.
I have seen the stars falling from the skies.
Listen to my fears, yours will lift and fly.
Stories from the past, each as true as mine.
We can speak at last through the sands of time.
We are not forgotten anymore.
These are things I know, trampled fields of snow
Sheets of falling rain, hope that concurs pain.
Souls that call again in my memory.
Through the veils of light falling on the sea.
Letters wrapped in love, lips pressed in my dreams.
Holy thoughts and brave, men who laugh and weep
We are not forgotten anymore.
I am the face on the wall,
Spirit of hope ever rising
I am the prayer in your heart for peace.
Nothing can protects us like a wall.
From our foes and our fears.
Nothing can be broken like a wall.
With our hopes and our tears
We learned all too well, hard as you may try.
There are days you win, there are days you die.
Having seen the war, we can speak of peace.
How we prayed all night for the dawn’s release.
Did we all come home, did we turn the page?
There are walls of joy, there are walls of rage.
Walls at which you weep, walls onwhich you dance
Walls made of regret, walls you made by chance.
Walls made in your mind, walls that set you free.
We are not forgotten anymore.
I am the face on the wall,
Spirit of hope ever rising
I am the prayer in your heart for peace.
