"The Wall"

by Kansas



It's woven in a fantasy

I can't beleive the things I've seen

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

It's 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 of you 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 a masterpeice

The weight of indecision's in the air

Standing there

The symbol and the sum of all that's me

It's just a travesty

Towering

Blocking out the light and blinding me

I want to see

Gold and diamonds cast a spell

It's not for me, I know it well

The riches that I seek

Are waiting on the other side

There's more than I can can measure

In the treasures of the 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 through

And smiling back at all who wait to cross

There is no loss

Oh
