Stronger Than the Walls Between Us - Aiki

Verse 1 We were twenty, young and free, London was the place to be. Laughing underneath the rain, Riding on the underground train. Dad worked sixty hours a week, Just to give me dreams to seek. Through university I’d rise, To find a better life someday. Verse 2 Near the Thames I saw his face, Something sparked across the place. He was there with friends his age, Like a dream upon a page. He lived up in Manchester, I lived near old Liverpool. We exchanged our numbers there, With a promise we would call. Chorus Love is stronger than a name, Stronger than a rich man’s claim. No high wall can keep apart Two souls joined by one true heart. Verse 3 Two days later came his call, He said he could not sleep at all. Every hour I crossed his mind, Leaving all his peace behind. Next day he was at my door, Smiling like the day before. Driving through the countryside, I felt heaven by his side. Verse 4 At a terrace in the sun, We both knew love had begun. Then he took me home to meet Those who lived on richer streets. His father owned a vast domain, Companies from Rome to Spain. “You must choose your proper kind, Leave this working girl behind.” Chorus Love is stronger than a name, Stronger than a rich man’s claim. No high wall can keep apart Two souls joined by one true heart. Verse 5 When he drove me home that night, All the stars had lost their light. “Father says we have to part, Though I know you own my heart.” Tears came falling down my face, I could not stay in that place. Though he tried to comfort me, I ran home in misery. Verse 6 One month later came his voice, “I have made my final choice. Day and night I dream of you, And I know my love is true.” Months went by, our love grew strong, Till he faced his father’s wrong. “Take her in, or lose your son,” Then our brighter days begun. Chorus Love is stronger than a name, Stronger than a rich man’s claim. No high wall can keep apart Two souls joined by one true heart. Finale Years went by, we said “I do,” Every dream we dreamed came true. His father saw my loving way, And welcomed me into his name. He saw the joy within his son, And knew that I was truly one. No gold could buy the life we found, For love had turned the walls around. Chorus Love is stronger than a name, Stronger than a rich man’s claim. No high wall can keep apart Two souls joined by one true heart. No high wall can keep apart Two souls joined by one true heart. © Hebocom
