She was alone for so long 
That her heart built a wall 
And all who tried to get in 
Coudln't even go near 

Yet deep inside that fortress 
Was a lost little girl 
Crying out to be seen 
And to love tenderly 

He had journeyed so far 
Noone's foul would he be 
And every moment he swore 
That his heart would stay free 

Yet deep inside that wanderer 
Was a lost little boy 
Crying out to be seen 
And to love tenderly 

Seems to me the child in all of us 
Is not so very small 
Longing to lie in arms of love 
And give our one and all 

And it's such a precious blessing 
When real love comes to call 
Than break down all our walls 

She fell apart at the seams 
When his love came along 
He didn't know what to feel 
'Cause he felt it so strong 

Seems to me the child in all of us 
Is not so very small 
Longing to lie in arms of love 
And give our one and all 

And it's such a precious blessing 
When real love comes to call 
But we'd rather build a fortress 
Than break down all our walls 

And it's such a precious blessing 
When real love comes to call 
But we'd rather build a fortress 
Than break down all our walls 

Yes we'd rather build a fortress 
Than break down all our walls
