THE WALL

I'M WOVEN IN A FANTASY, I CAN'T BELIEVE THE THINGS I SEE

THE PATH THAT I HAVE CHOSEN NOW HAS LED ME TO A WALL

AND WITH EACH PASSING DAY I FEEL A LITTLE MORE LIKE SOMETHING DEAR WAS LOST

IT RISES NOW BEFORE ME, A DARK AND SILENT BARRIER BETWEEN

ALL I AM AND ALL THAT I WOULD EVER WANT TO BE

ITS JUST A TRAVESTY, TOWERING, MARKING OFF THE BOUNDARIES MY SPIRIT WOULD ERASE

TO PASS BEYOND IS WHAT I SEEK, I FEAR THAT I MAY BE TOO WEAK

AND THOSE ARE FEW WHO'VE SEEN IT THROUGH TO GLIMPSE THE OTHER SIDE

THE PROMISE LAND IS WAITING LIKE A MAIDEN THAT IS SOON TO BE A BRIDE

THE MOMENT IS THE MASTERPIECE, THE WEIGHT OF INDECISION'S IN THE AIR

ITS STANDING THERE, THE SYMBOL AND THE SUM OF ALL THAT'S ME

ITS JUST A TRAVESTY, TOWERING, BLOCKING OUT THE LIGHT AND BLINDING ME

I WANT TO SEE

GOLD AND DIAMONDS CAST A SPELL, ITS NOT FOR ME I NOW IT WELL

THE TREASURES THAT I SEEK ARE WAITING ON THE OTHER SIDE

THERE'S MORE THAT I CAN MEASURE IN THE TREASURE OF LOVE THAT I CAN FIND

AND THOUGH IT’S ALWAYS BEEN WITH ME, I MUST TEAR DOWN THE WALL AND LET IT BE

ALL I AM, AND ALL THAT I WAS EVER MEANT TO BE, IN HARMONY

SHINING TRUE AND SMILING BACK AT ALL WHO WANT TO CROSS

THERE IS NO LOSS
