  • As the walls are closing in
    And the colors fade to black
    And my eyes are falling fast and deep into me
    And I follow the tracks that lead me down
    And I'll never follow what's right
    And I wonder sometimes
    When they see all the sadness and pain
    The truth brings to light

    'Cause I can't see no reason, what is blind cannot see
    'Cause I want what is pleasin', all I take should be free
    What I rob from the innocent ones
    What I'd steal from the womb

    As the walls are closing in and the colors fade to black
    As the night is falling fast and deep into the sea
    And in darkness all that I can see, the frightened and the weak
    Are forced to cling to mistakes they know nothing of
    At mercy are the meek

    'Cause I can't see no reason what is blind cannot see
    'Cause I want what is pleasin', all I take should be free
    What I rob from the innocent ones
    What I'd steal from the womb

    If I cried me a river of all my confessions Writer/s: Sarah Mclachlan
