Lyrics - The Wall by Kansas

(
Kerry
Livgren/
Steve
Walsh)
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
It's just a travesty, towering, marking off the boundaries my spirit woulderase
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 glimplse 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
It's 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 to know it well
The treasures that
I seek are waiting on the other side
THere's more that
I can measure in the treasure of the love that
I can find
And though it's always been with me
I must teard down the wall 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
