[Verse 1]
If I had a grand piano I would play a song for you
A song to make you wonder like you've never done before
With words to make the poets sing and worship at the gate for you
But all I have are words that rhyme, and they've all been
Sung before
[Verse 2]
Oh, and if I had the painter's eye I'd reach behind the mask you show
And put it on a canvas that the world might see and sigh
And I'd show just what you feel inside, you think no one must ever know
But I can't paint a picture any more than I can fly
[Chorus]
You wear a wall around you
And I cannot break it down
But Heaven is around you
And you wear it like a crown
[Verse 3]
Though I may not be a poet with words to sing a song for you
I have wonders of my own to make your senses spin
Though l may not be Picasso I'll colour every day for you
Open up your window, and let this poor boy in
[Piano Solo]
[Chorus]
You wear a wall around you
And I cannot break it down
But Heaven is around you
And you wear it like a crown
[Fiddle Solo & Outro]
