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 |
