You Built a Wall

You built a wall

You built a wall to surround you
You built a wall to confound you
But you better know when you build it
You build it alone

You built a wall to define you
You built a wall to confine you
So go and walk the path
But you walk it you walk alone

You thought you knew all the answers
You thought you knew all the leaders and masters
You though you knew all the answers for you
You built a wall

You built a wall that destroys you
You built a wall to constrict you
Brick by brick that's how you live
That's all you got to give

You thought God gave you all the answers
Well you thought wrong and I've got a hammer
I'm gonna smash all the walls of the hate you built

You built a wall
