An early song, but I love the raw feeling of it, made more so by its simplicity. 
Verse 1
DIn your heart there are Goceans
In your Dheart there are Gflowering trees
ALook inside and lives inside these Gwalls
Your body Dyearns
Verse 2
DIn your dreams you've seen Gcastles
In your Ddreams you've been GKings & Queens
AYou've ridden white horses past these Gwalls
Your body Dyearns
Chorus
AI'm not one to say I Gknow what you go through
I only wanna Aopen wide the window and Glet sunlight through
For Dyou
Verse 3
DIn your face I see Glonging
In your Dface I see Ghopes & fears
AYou've been locked for too long behind these Gwalls
Your body Dyearns
Chorus
Bridge
BmTell me tell me tell me tell me tell me
What you Afeel
BmTell me tell me tell me tell me tell me
What you Aneed
BmTell me tell me tell me tell me tell me
EveryAthing
Verse 4
DTake my hand and I'll Glead you
Take my Dword that I'll Gnot deceive you
I only wanna Acarry you on beyond these Gwalls
Your body Dyearns
Chorus
