My Fortress Lyrics - Singles - Steve Stipp

When I was young, and the world loomed over me 

I built a fortress to keep me from harm 

I sealed all the doorways, no one could get in 

But now that the world and I are older 

I find all my enemies within 

And the sieges my castle walls were built for 

Never came with the force I thought they would 

And now that it's all over, I'm still locked inside 

And oh, I'm so lonely 

But the moat is still too wide 

So please, hear me calling 

And please, break down the door 

'Cause I need you much more than the walls 

And I can't hide here any more 

From where I sit in my lonely parapet 

I see the world as it passes me by 

Though the battles are over 

Oh, the walls, they still stand 

And oh, I'm so lonely 

For the touch of your hand 

So please, hear me calling 

And please, break down the door 

'Cause I need you much more than the walls 

And I can't hide here any more 

So please, hear me calling 

And please, break down the door 

'Cause I need you much more than the walls 

And I can't hide here any more
