I Build the Wall

Verse

Can I get close to you?
Can I get through?
What is it that's come between
Me and you?

It wasn't there before,
When we first met,
But everyday it grows
Higher yet.

Verse

Had we but world enough
And time to spare,
The barriers in our minds
Would break and tear.

If you would only take
Then I could give,
So we could build a life
We both can live
