This song speaks to learning about oneself and surpassing self imposed barriers
The Wall by Kansas

I'm woven in a fantasy
I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now
Has lead 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 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, I know it well
The treasures that I seek
Are waiting on the other side
There's more than 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
