The nature of life is change, whether we like it or not. Yet, there are always those who stand in the way of the moving forward, instead of helping it along.

lyrics

Jericho

by Elle Madelyn © 2015

Philosophers and artists will blown the minds of our convention

Pharmacies and our good deeds will lead to our ascension.

And still are we eternally stuck in our circumvention

So the walls come tumbling down

Better connections and pocket change

will rearrange position

Baker's squares and curly hairs will aid them in their mission

And we'll all be eternally mired in the opposition

So the walls come tumbling down

Chorus:

And who are we to stop them?

And who but we can they turn to?

Who are we, to fight them?

As the walls come tumbling down

Yeah the walls keep tumbling down

Only in my underwear, these inconvenient stares at my faces

No amount of mind altering drugs can erase this

All alone in these shoes, that have hardly been used

Sometimes it feels like my life is still brand new

Praying for an end to the violence

Have to stitch our mouths closed to keep silent

The irony is killing me

Now we are our own tyrant

As the walls come tumbling down

Yeah the walls keep crumbling down

Chorus:

Turn about and reach for the skies

Look around and open your eyes.

Who? Who do we think we are? Who?

Do we think we can stay the hands of time?

Scientists and Clergyman will form an alliance

Historians and Citizens will act out their defiance

Blinders off no longer sub-existing in compliance

And the walls come tumbling down

Who? Who do they turn to?

Who are we, to fight them?
