Knock the Wall Down

For many years I have been gliding through life
Just wandering like a little child
Then one day BAM – I hit a brick wall

For months I’ve been trying to knock the wall down
Been at it with pick axes and sledgehammers
But firmly the wall stood

I prayed for a miracle
A miracle to bring the wall down
All I was given was a clue

What did this mean, what was I to do?
My heart aches with pain
All I want is for the wall to come down

Then one day I receive some news
News which has been withheld from me
News which has changed everything

Now I can see a wall-less future
Bit by bit the wall will come down
Brick by brick the wall will start to fall

All I have to do is follow the path of the past
In order to stride into the future
A future where there are no walls

I am ready to face the past
Ready to bring it into the present
So the future can be bright and clear for us all to see
