Barricades

Barricades - Pat Green

Written by：Pat Green/Justin Pollard

Close my eyes

And ask myself a question

Why is I do what I do

Am I looking for some happy definition

Life and love and the corners of the truth

Or am I just some curious bystander

Looking at the world through a child's eyes

Sunlight always shining on my shoulders

While the storm rages on deep inside deep inside

And it seems so hard

To keep it all together

When the walls are fallin' down

On every side

I'll be damned

If I give up on you easy

I've worked too hard

To get the barricades this high

This world is a stage

We're meant to play on

Direction from inside on what to do

I know I should have all of the answers

Deep inside I haven't got a clue not a clue

And it seems so hard

To keep it all together

When the walls are falling down on every side

Yeah but I'll be damned if I give up on

It easy

I've worked too hard

To get the barricades this high

Told myself that I would be okay

Told myself I'd be all right no doubt

Somewhere low I know that I've been lying

Can't believe it took me thirty years

To figure that **** out

And it seems so hard

To keep it all together

When the walls are falling down on every side

Yeah but I'll be damned if I give up on

It easy

I've worked too hard

To get the barricades this high
