The Wall (part I) Songtext
von Kansas

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 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 that I can measure
In the treasure 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
