Breaking down the walls

Derrick E Carey 1981 (Sarasota)

Narrative
I'm going to surrender to the light.
There will be no more holding back.
I believe I’m better off this way.
I've shed many tears over the years.
Searching for the truth that I find in you.
Taken by your smile.
What an untimely surprise
A truth filled with lies.
Breaking down the walls
Waiting on heavens call
While you’re holding out
I’ve already taken everything into account.
Closing doors and breaking down walls
