Breaking Down Barriers Songtext / Lyric

Breaking Down Barriers

music by Elton John . lyrics by Gary Osborne
album The Fox 1981


I recall how it used to be
in my younger days
I built a wall all around my heart
to keep the pain away
I built it tall and I built it wide
I left no room for doubt
your love still found its way inside
and couldn't get back out

I'm breaking down the barriers
making up my mind
I'm breaking down the barriers of time
I'm breaking down the barriers
and loving what I find
I'm breaking down the barriers that lie
between your love and mine

I guess you know you were not the first
you may not be the last
but you have shown me a better way
and now I'm learning fast
you gotta go where the feelings flow
I take it while it's hot
you gotta give if you wanna get
and I want all you got

I'm breaking down the barriers
making up my mind
I'm breaking down the barriers of time
I'm breaking down the barriers
and loving what I find
I'm breaking down the barriers that lie
between your love and mine
