[Verse 1]

You can walk, walk to Bethesda

There’s no house on mercy street

You might get lost in the company of angels

Ignoring the stones tied around your feet

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Yeah, you got to try for something

Bend your knee and fight for something

Learn how to die for something

So you ain't living life for nothing, no

[Chorus]

Rivers weren’t made for drowning

Souls were never made to fail

I raised Jericho around me

But these walls were built to scale

[Verse 2]

I framed a fortress ‘round my heart

Carved her name in the old front door

So she would know that love still stands

Here forever even when she’s gone

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Love can be a heat wave

Love can be a cold rain

Shadows that play on the walls of your room

[Chorus]

Rivers weren’t made for drowning

Souls were never made to fail

I raised Jericho around me

But these walls were built to scale

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Yeah, you got to try for something

Bend your knee and fight for something

Learn how to die for something

So you ain't living life for nothing, no

[Chorus]

Rivers weren’t made for drowning

Souls were never made to fail

I raised Jericho around me

But these walls were built to scale

These walls were built to scale

These walls were built to scale
