Shadows dance across the wall
Has it all been mistaken?
Across the wall
I see the picture

And has it all been forsaken
For the truth?
As my perception is shaken
From my youth
My love
And my anger, and my pain -
Why?
I wonder that I view with such disdain
Across the wall

(chorus)
Across the wall
You seem to want to build
Across the wall
I stand in silence still
Across the wall

Mist rising up from the ground
As I’m ever in contemplation
In the moment that seems resound
I review another situation:
The lesson of my anger and my pain
Why?
I wonder that I view with such disdain
Across the wall

(bridge)
If I could see it through your eyes
Those eyes that were never beside me
Do I think that I would ever realize?
Besides, the moment’s behind me

(instrumental)

Sun setting behind the clouds
Setting in a moonlit shroud
Pursuit of method beside the crowd
I review another thought out loud

In turn, I learn
Why should I be concerned?
It’s love that burns
If I could just discern
Across the wall

(repeat chorus)
