He puts on a face And walks out through the door What lies behind the mask He's trying to ignore Inside he holds a child That one he used to be But is no more She lives in a fairy tale Her life's not what it seems She's just a paper doll Like in the magazines Trying so hard to hide The bitter pain she feels But it won't go away She knows that it's so real Run But there's nowhere to hide Run From what you feel inside Jesus is all we really need He can release us And set the captives free He wants to Tear down the walls He walks up to the grave In memory of the dead He thinks of all the things He wished that he had said So now he lives to bear The weight of all his guilt Within the confines of the walls That he has built Tear down the walls Tear down the walls Run But there's nowhere to hide Run From what you feel inside Jesus is all we really need He can release us And set the captives free He wants to free us If we would just believe And let Him Tear down the walls
