[Verse] 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
[Chorus] I heard the messenger To shake down the barrier I’ll wait until it’s clear To shake down this barrier
[Verse] 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
[Chorus] 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
[Bridge] Shake down the barrier, oh oh oh.
[Chorus] I heard the messenger to shake down the barrier I’ll wait until it’s clear to shake down this barrier
