| You can walk, walk to Bethesda
|
| There’s no house on mercy street
|
| You might get lost in the company of angels
|
| Ignoring the stones tied around your feet
|
| Yeah, you got to try for something
|
| Bend your knee and fight for something
|
| Learn how to die for something
|
| So you ain’t living life for nothing, no
|
| Rivers weren’t made for drowning
|
| Souls were never made to fail
|
| I raised Jericho around me
|
| But these walls were built to scale
|
| I framed a fortress ‘round my heart
|
| Carved her name in the old front door
|
| So she would know that love still stands
|
| Here forever even when she’s gone
|
| Love can be a heat wave
|
| Love can be a cold rain
|
| Shadows that play on the walls of your room
|
| Rivers weren’t made for drowning
|
| Souls were never made to fail
|
| I raised Jericho around me
|
| But these walls were built to scale
|
| Yeah, you got to try for something
|
| Bend your knee and fight for something
|
| Learn how to die for something
|
| So you ain’t living life for nothing, no
|
| Rivers weren’t made for drowning
|
| Souls were never made to fail
|
| I raised Jericho around me
|
| But these walls were built to scale
|
| These walls were built to scale
|
| These walls were built to scale |
