The Wall lyrics

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 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 are few who've seen it through

To glimpse the other side

The promised land is waiting

Like a maiden that is soon to be a bride

The moment is a masterpiece

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 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 true and smiling back at all who wait to cross

There is no loss
