Throw it away to the wind and start again

We built a wall made out of words
To try to keep us safe
We built that wall into towers
With keepers at the gates
Now I want to find out what is real
Not just what they told me I should feel
I saw a light from the outside
A window opened wide

And if I don’t belong here in this place
Let the walls give way; they can’t keep me safe
And if the words are wrong, find out what’s fake
Throw it away to the wind and start again

Backspace on bricks around the frame
Remove the windowpanes
The wind could blow this house away
Erase the phrases out of place

My faith, my heart rose to the wind
And I don’t know where it will lead me
I don’t know where to begin
But I’ll take my chances just to find a firmer foundation

And if I don’t belong here in this place
Let the walls give way; they can’t keep me safe
And if the words are wrong, find out what’s fake
Throw it away to the wind and start again

Let the walls give way
Let the walls give way
Backspace what’s fake, throw it away
They can’t keep me safe
I’ll hold to my faith and find a new way
I’ll find a new way

And if I don’t belong here in this place
Let the walls give way; they can’t keep me safe
And if the words are wrong, find out what’s fake
Throw it away to the wind and start again

And if I don’t belong here in this place
Throw it away to the wind and start again
And if the words are wrong, find out what’s fake
Throw it away to the wind and start again

Throw it away to the wind and start again
