I’m building a wall around myself
So no one can hurt me  
Away from the stormy sea
I’m building a wall around myself 
I’m making a safe place
To keep all those fears at bay

Rising up, I’ll leave it all behind
In this space, there’s room enough to hide
When this world is getting hard to take
I’ll lock all the doors; I wanna make sure that nothing can get in my way

No more fighting
No more crying
No more tears, I’m building a wall, building a wall
No more heartache
In this safe place
No more pain, I’m building a wall, building a wall

I’m building a fortress to keep you out
I need to break free
From all of this misery
I won’t let the walls come tumbling down
I’m doing the right thing
To stop all the hurt it brings

Safe and sound, I’ll leave it all behind
In this space, there’s room enough to hide
When this world is getting hard to face
I’ll lock all the doors; I wanna make sure that nothing will stand in my way

No more fighting
No more crying
No more tears, I’m building a wall, building a wall
No more heartache
In this safe place
No more pain, I’m building a wall, building a wall

Rising up, I’ll leave it all behind
In this space, there’s room enough to hide
When this world is getting hard to face
I’ll lock all the doors, I wanna make sure, that no one will stand in my way

No more fighting
No more crying
No more tears, I’m building a wall, building a wall
No more heartache
In this safe place
No more pain, I’m building a wall, building a wall

There’s no more fighting, no more crying
There’s no more fighting, no more crying, no more fighting
