Walk Through Walls (PDF / MP3)

She carries her life in a shopping bag

On the boulevard.

Nobody feels her pain,

Though they see her scars.

Passing by, she caught my eye;

Then I heard you say,

"She's a child of mine—

"Don't turn away."

Oh Lord, I'm a prisoner to this pace;

I'm locked up in this human race,

But with courage and a measure of grace I could . . .

Walk through walls—

One step out of darkness is a step into light!

Walk through walls—

Give the word of hope to the world outside.

Deep inside my heart I know

Just how I should live.

Time and love could heal the hurt,

If I would only give.

But it's so easy to hide here

And never make contact,

So easy turning a deaf ear

To the call to act.

Oh Lord, all you ask of me

Is to live as I believe—

Give me the strength I need—the strength to . . .

Walk through walls—

One step out of darkness is a step into light!

Walk through walls—

Give the word of hope to the world outside.

I want to break out of this sheltered heart

And make a difference in a world torn apart.

Walk through walls—

One step out of darkness is a step into light!

Walk through walls—

Give the word of hope to the world outside.
