Estrangement

Walls between us walls around us
Who built the walls that surround us
I don’t remember when they rose
I asked around…nobody knows

Did I speak so badly after all
That you stacked my words into a wall
And were you perhaps too quick to build
Leaving dreams unfulfilled

I remember when there was only space
room to grow…room to race
though we were family all the time
with valleys to cross and mountains to climb

Now I can hardly see you at all
But I recall the sound of building walls
Walls between us walls surround us
I guess we built these walls around us
