Walls
Breaking Walls, Embracing Vulnerability: Joseph Vea's Musical Revelation
Lyrics
Heard a man builds walls of stone
There is a man who constructs walls made of stone.
Gave mine a door to make it home
I've allowed access to my wall by providing a door to create a sense of home.
Let you in to find my flaws
By letting you in, I exposed my imperfections and weaknesses.
I can't be defined by yours
I refuse to be defined solely by your perceptions or judgments.
Nobody knows what lies within
Nobody truly understands what lies deep inside me.
Scars that are deeper than this skin
There are emotional wounds that run deeper than what is visible on the surface.
Hidden where they cant be seen
These scars and vulnerabilities are concealed where they cannot be easily seen.
Trying to be the man they need
I strive to become the person others expect or need me to be.
Now I see
Now I understand.
What keeps you away
I comprehend the reason that keeps you at a distance.
And I've been
It's been me.
The one whose afraid
I've been the one afraid of vulnerability.
To lay my weapons down
I've hesitated to let go of my defenses.
Be heart felt
Be sincere and genuine.
Now I know that we could work it out yeah
Now I realize that reconciliation is possible.
Now I see
Now I understand.
What keeps you away
I grasp the reason for your distance.
And I've been
It's been me.
The one whose afraid
I've been the one afraid of vulnerability.
To lay my weapons down
I've hesitated to let go of my defenses.
Be heart felt
Be sincere and genuine.
Now I know that we could work it out
Now I realize that reconciliation is possible.
We could work it out yeah
Reiteration of the belief that reconciliation is achievable and the repeated affirmation of the willingness to dismantle barriers and work things out.
We could work it out yeah
-We could work it out yeah
-We could work it out
-All I know is what I'm told
-Don't wanna break the things I hold
-Tight within these fragile hands
-Scared to lose your faith again
-Stand at the edge of what I'll be
-Told to be a man but what does that mean?
-Pushing when I'm scared to fall
-Valleys make the mountains tall
-Now I see
-What keeps you away
-And I've been
-The one whose afraid
-To lay my weapons down
-Be heart felt
-Now I know that we could work it out
-Now I see
-What keeps you away
-And I've been
-The one whose afraid
-To lay my weapons down
-Be heart felt
-Now I know that we could work it out yeah
-We could work it out yeah
-We could work it out yeah
-We could work it out yeah
-We could work it out yeah
-We could work it out yeah
-We could work it out yeah
-We could work it out yeah
-We could work it out yeah
-With my weapons down
-We could work it out yeah
-We could work it out yeah
-And I believe
-We could work it out yeah
-Now I know that
-We could work it out yeah
-With my weapons down
-We could work it out yeah
-We could work it out yeah
-We could work it out yeah
-Yeah yay yeah
-We could work it out yeah
-We could work it out yeah
-We could work it out yeah
-We could work it out yeah
-We could work it out yeah
-We could work it out yeah
-We could work it out yeah
-We could work it out yeah
