Lyrics: Fulton Lee Farrish/Karen Linette
Music: Fulton Lee Farrish/Karen Linette/August Pappas
It's been lonely tonight and cold as ice
Tomorrow ain't waiting for your green light
And peace comes at a steep price
And I don't know if you got enough for the toll now
Day after day, strength gives away
And dreams that you build upon are rolled away
And no, I don't think that life is a game
But you're wondering if it might be time to fold them
And the fire is still a flame, but every day it's going out
Take a little look around, baby
Oh, I feel your walls crumbling down
Oh, hear the sound they make as they fall
Maybe you're crushed, or maybe you've found out
That you're free from the weight of it all, ooooh
Free from the weight of it all
Well the smoke in the sky is rising high
The past is in ashes for another sacrifice
And you don't know if the Lord will delight
Or if he will just turn another cold shoulder
Long was the wait, and hard was the day
Of your bitter triumph in a losing game
But lost is a song, that champions sing
Before they learn their story ain't over
And the fire is still a flame, but every day it's going out
Take a little look around, baby
Oh, I feel your walls crumbling down
Oh, hear the sound they make as they fall
Maybe you're crushed, or maybe you've found out
That you're free from the weight of it all, ooooh
Free from the weight of it all
Said you're free, you're free from the weight
From the weight, baby, of it all
Yeah, and oh yeah, yeah, yeah
It's been too much, too much to bear, to bear
But you're free now, free now
From the weight of it all
I feel your walls crumbling down
Oh, hear the sound they make as they fall
Maybe you're crushed, or maybe you've found out
That you're free from the weight of it all
