These four walls bring me down;

No one here from my hometown

And I lose myself inside a song,

Been on my own for too long.

Comfort food and too much drink,

Clouds my mind so I don’t think

About heavy thoughts like pouring rain;

Can’t watch the news I’ll go insane.

It’s not until you fight for breath

You contemplate the truth of death.

Don’t look above with eyes of fear,

Your angels are right here.

At your side for you they fight,

Each and every day and night,

Living Light and Living Love,

Your angles from above.

Chorus:

And all god’s children hope and pray

The future brings a brighter day.

But there’s one thing that’s bright and clear

Is that our Love is always near.

Time is thin for my ol’ dad,

All alone and really sad.

His paper rainbow shining through,

The Sun is out the sky is blue.

This window pane keeps us apart;

Pressing palms just breaks my heart.

Isolation takes its toll,

It Plagues the mind and kills the soul.

Only when we can’t be near,

All our loved ones held so dear,

In the Lonely hearts in young and old,

Now cherish time much more than gold.

Oh how good is it to see

Those angels on my TV;

Bravest souls with gift of life

In our hour of need and darkest strife.

Chorus:

all god’s children hope and pray,

The future brings a brighter day.

But there’s one thing that’s bright and clear:

that love is always near.

These four walls bring me down

No one here from my home town

I lose myself inside a song

Been on my own for too long

for too long

for too long
