When The Walls Tumble Down
Whitecross Lyrics

You can feel the cold of a heart locked up in ice
It is possible to sense the coldness of a heart that has been walled up and unresponsive

Addicted to wine and women
Obsessed with alcohol and promiscuity

Seems there's no escape from the vise
It gives the impression that there's no way out of the addictive and destructive behavior

But still a higher power comes down
Despite the helpless state, a superior force descends upon us

Like a chisel on cold steel
This divine force is as precise and persistent as a sculptor's tool, eroding the hard exterior of the heart

It's the love of God knockin' on the door
The knocking refers to a persistent call to awaken from one's state and the love refers to the wide-ranging mental and emotional healing offered by the divine power, viewed through the lens of the Christian faith

With a love that's oh so real
Expressing that the love of the divine is, in fact, genuine in comparison to any other form of love, including material and earthly love

When the walls tumble down
When the heart's walls and prejudices break apart, one's consciousness receives the love of the divine

There's no stoppin' the love from comin' in
Nothing can obstruct or limit divine love from entering one's life and changing it for the better

The new life will begin
One will begin to live a rejuvenated life free from the shackles that bound him/her

Now you have a chance to lay it on the line
It is time to be truthful and direct about one's emotions towards the divine

They're all playin' their cards
Others continue their lives as they deem fit, chasing after worldly pleasures

But they're runnin' out of time
They are quickly losing time to seek the divine and change their lives for the better

Still the love of God keeps knockin'
The divine still send signals of love even if people are unaware of that feeling

Lick the hammer hits the nail
The impossible becomes possible when we accept the divine's love when we allow the holy energy to strike and hit everything that must be changed, symbolized in this case by a hammer and nail

And the light through you can reach the world
Through each person who allows divine love to flow through them, they have the potential to change the world and shine a light of hope to others

If you let His love prevail
It is only by surrendering to the love of the divine power that one can exhibit substantial life changes that will bring goodness and healing.
