The Wall
♪♫ Kansas Lyrics

I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see
I am lost in a world of my own imagination and cannot distinguish between what is real and what is not

The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall
The choices I have made have brought me to a dead end, with no way forward

And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost
As time goes by, I become increasingly aware of the things I have given up and the opportunities I have missed

It rises now before me, a dark and silent barrier between
There is now an intimidating and impenetrable barrier that separates me from my desires and aspirations

All I am and all that I would ever want to be
The wall is a physical manifestation of everything I am and everything I hope to become

It's just a travesty, towering, marking off the boundaries
The wall is a cruel and unfair obstacle that serves only to limit and frustrate me

My spirit would erase
I wish I could erase the wall and its negative impact on my life

To pass beyond is what I seek, I fear that I may be too weak
I long to overcome the wall, but am afraid that I may not be strong enough to do so

And those are few who've seen it through to glimpse the other side
Only a handful of people have succeeded in crossing the wall and achieving their dreams

The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride
Success and fulfillment are waiting for me on the other side of the wall, like a beautiful bride waiting to be married

The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of indecision's in the air
The moment when I finally cross the wall and achieve my dreams will be a triumphant masterpiece, but I am currently paralyzed with indecision and uncertainty

It's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me
The wall is a powerful symbol that represents everything I am and everything I aspire to be

It's just a travesty, towering, blocking out the light and blinding me
The wall is a monstrous barrier that obscures my vision and prevents me from seeing the possibilities beyond

I want to see
I yearn to see beyond the wall and into a brighter future

Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it's not for me to know it well
Material wealth and possessions have a powerful allure, but I know that they are not the key to true happiness and fulfillment

The treasures that I seek are waiting on the other side
The things that will truly fulfill me are on the other side of the wall, waiting to be discovered

There's more that I can measure in the treasure of the love that I can find
The greatest treasure of all is the love and connection that I can find with others, which is immeasurable and invaluable

And though it's always been with me
While this love has always been present in my life, I have not always been aware of its importance

I must tear down the wall let it be
I must find the strength and courage to overcome the wall and achieve my dreams

All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony
By crossing the wall, I will finally achieve a state of harmony and balance in my life

Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross
Once I have succeeded in crossing the wall, I will be able to share my success and happiness with others who are still struggling to overcome their own barriers

There is no loss
In the end, there is nothing to lose and everything to gain by overcoming the wall and achieving my dreams
