A Wall I Must Climb

Things were moving so fast I couldn't comprehend it

I was first maybe I was last and confusion had descended

I was amazed by what had transcended

Through the pages of time

Faith is a wall I must climb

I was intrigued by your spirit and your eyes which showed no pain

You were screaming but I couldn't hear it

And your movements could not explain why you condemned me

To a world of senseless rhyme

Fear is a wall I must climb

And I've seen some heroes in my day

And I've seen the failures in yours

And I tried to connect us in some way

But we were on two different shores

You know your love is worth millions in treasures

But I can't even spare a dime

Love is a wall I must climb

And the people they were singing

I could hear them from the street

And my feelings they were stinging

I was submerged in my defeat

But I smiled for a second

And for that second I felt fine

Pain is a wall I must climb

And so quiet is the terror that swallows me like the night

And so quiet is the sickness in the song that I long to write

But I shall receive my passion eternally

From beyond the bitter stars that shine

Doubt is a wall I must climb

In my world of convergence I'm a prisoner only unto me

While I wait for the emergence of the form I shall soon be

Till then I wait in the museum

The museum of my mind

Fate is a wall I must climb

The hangman he's in the shadows and he's looking for something to do

Until we find who won the battles of the evil and the true

And the judges they are in recess until

They receive some sort of sacred sign

Belief is a wall I must climb

Have you ever looked at your face so much until it became askew

Cause the road that's less traveled is

The one that leads right back to you

And Lord I'm frightened for I feel that my lack of life is my crime

I am a wall I must climb
