	Story Behind the Song The song started with a riff reminding me of an old Black Sabbath tune, but softened with a Bryan Adams-esque refrain. The lyrics are introspective, asking the listener to evaluate the emotional walls that people create to protect themselves. The song was a late edition to the "Ground Zero" album but one of the most popular. The guitar groove is doubled and comes off really well. Lyrics (Verse 1) Where you going when the walls surround you? Who you callin’ when the scream escapes from you? When you gonna face the crowd who runs to you? What would you give to have peace and solitude? (Refrain) Tell me are you livin’ a lie? Trapped inside you lay down and die Can you leave the past behind? Or are you scared of what you might find? (Verse 2) Through the castle flies the shimmering white dove Born of fire in the twilight skies above He lingers a loft, searching for an open hand Can you stand above and let hope land? (Refrain) Tell me are you livin’ a lie? Trapped inside you just want to cry Can you tear the walls to the ground? Or do you fear the sight and the sound? (Interlude) (Verse 3) Down the hall the words echo inside of you Reach out to the truth for it will carry you Leave the ground to embrace the freedom given you Lift your soul and kiss the heavenly sky (Refrains 1 & 2)
