Lyrics
High Above the Wall
Words and music by Steve Givens and Jim Russell
I tried to make it on my own
I tried to answer all the questions.
Until I ran against a wall, against my will.
So I tried to run around it
But the wall went ever on
And I tried to dig beneath
But all I found was solid ground. (ref)
REF:
And then you lifted me higher and higher
Up to your side
You took my heart into your hand
And made me new again
You lifted me high above the wall.
And from my vantage at your side
I saw the world and all your people
And I saw them come and bow before the wall.
And they prayed their prayers inside themselves
Never knowing you were there
To hear their cries and lift them up beyond their hopes and fears (ref)
And then you gently set me down
Back on the road that bears my journey
And I went back and I stood before the wall
Now it seems like less a fortress and
my will is stronger still
For your hand is on my shoulder and your spirit leads me on. (ref)
