Dr Carrot - Baby Hostage (feat. Clare McGown) Lyrics

I was born into this world a baby
Its way into the creek a drop of dew
The way was hard I fell, I hurt, I failed
Most painful was to feel betrayed by you

I learnt a trick and brick by brick
I built a wall, a wall so tall
It guards me from all

When life throws rocks, I learn the best
One to strike first, will get the upper hand
Kept getting better each and every test
And ruined bridges no one could ever mend

I learnt a trick and brick by brick
I built a wall, a wall so tall
It guards me from all

The wall grew taller, I grew safer
And no one dared approach the gates
Look outside, the 'outside of comfort'
The 'next to you', the 'in harm's way'
The 'seen', the 'loved', and the 'connected'
Can I (You) give up my (Your) walls of clay?

I learnt a trick and brick by brick
I built a wall, a wall so tall
It guards me from all

When you don't have, then you don't lose
When you don't trust, then you don't hurt
When you don't try, then you don't fail

When you don't stand up - well, you don't fall
I spent my life, on my belly Safe...
Behind that (His) wall
Guards, me (You) from all

What would you need, what can I do?
Let out that hostage prisoner, that baby
That is in you

I knew the trick and brick by brick
No step too small, tore down the wall
And stood up tall
Open to all

Its way into the creek, a drop of dew
One, join many, like me and you
