Walls (We Are Not Forgotten)

Walls(We Are Not Forgotten) - Judy Collins

We are not forgotten

Listen to my heart look into my eyes

I have seen the stars falling from the skies

Listen to my fears yours will lift and fly

Let me show you where I have touched the air

Stories from the past each as true as mine

We can speak at last through the sands of time

We are not forgotten anymore

These are things I know trampled fields of snow

Sheets of falling rain hope that concurs pain

Souls that call again in my memory

Through the veils of light falling on the sea

Letters wrapped in love lips pressed in my dreams

Holy thoughts and brave men who laugh and weep

We are not forgotten anymore

I am the face on the wall

Spirit of hope ever rising

I am the prayer in your heart for peace

Nothing can protects us like a wall

From our foes and our fears

Nothing can be broken like a wall

With our hopes and our tears

We learned all too well hard as you may try

There are days you win there are days you die

Having seen the war we can speak of peace

How we prayed all night for the dawn's release

Did we all come home did we turn the page

There are walls of joy there are walls of rage

Walls at which you weep walls on which you dance

Walls made of regret walls you made by chance

Walls that break you heart walls through which you can see

Walls made in your mind walls that set you free

We are not forgotten anymore

I am the face on the wall

Spirit of hope ever rising

I am the prayer in your heart for peace
