Fortress Lyrics

You built a fortress around your heart

Walls so high set yourself apart

And from the ramparts you watch the world below

You've burned your bridges made up your mind

Lost your faith in all mankind

Are you ever coming back to us heaven only knows

Don't hide from life and all it has to give

Listen to your senses and live

I remember you standing in the sun

Eyes full of wonder heart full of fun

What happened to that child whatever happened to that spark

You got hurt a long time ago

Its black cloud follows you everywhere you go

It's hard to read the signs standing in the dark

Don't hide from life and all it has to give

Come to your senses and live

Guess it's easier to shut yourself away

Inside that fortress day after day

Than to run the risk you might get hurt again

You might discover people just like you

Folk who have suffered but they're pulling through

Who take you as you are good people and good friends

Don't hide from life and all it has to give

Surrender to your senses and live

Don't hide from life and all it has to give

Surrender to your senses and live
