This is before my day but I thought it was interesting as a key point in music. A group called Simon and Garfunkal sang a song called "I am a Rock" I have listed the words for you. I believe they are a symbol of our world today which has built walls around our hearts to keep others out to avoid pain

ARTIST: Simon & Garfunkel

TITLE: I Am a Rock

A winter´s day in a deep and dark December

I am alone

Gazing from my window to the streets below

On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow

I am a rock, I am an island

I´ve built walls, a fortress deep and mighty

That none may penetrate

I have no need for friendship, friendship causes pain

It´s laughter and it´s loving I disdain

I am a rock, I am an island

Don´t talk of love, well I´ve heard the word before

It´s sleeping in my memory

I won´t disturb the slumber of feelings that have died

If I´d never loved, I never would have cried

I am a rock, I am an island

I have my books and my poetry to protect me

I am shielded in my armor

Hiding in my room, safe within my womb

I touch no one and no one touches me

I am a rock, I am an island

And a rock feels no pain

And an island never cries

Here is where I copied it from
