I saw nothing but the very best for you
I've sort nothing but the truth
You'll have to trust me as we venture out so far
Cause I swing words that might bruise
I heard the messenger
To shake down the barrier
I'll wait until it's clear
To shake down this barrier
I feel discouraged when the fear is all I see
Pushing deep against
I make my opinions based on everything I'm told
I'll walk this line until I'm old
I heard the messenger
To shake down the barrier
I'll wait until it's clear
To shake down this barrier
I heard the messenger
To shake down the barrier
I'll wait until it's clear
To shake down this barrier
Shake down the barrier, oh oh oh.
I heard the messenger
To shake down the barrier
I'll wait until it's clear
To shake down this barrier
