Lyrics

BEHIND THE WALL

Got it all together
Silent yet so strong
He?s so cool, you put your sweater on
He?s the stuff of legends
All the people say
Watching from a million miles away
Everybody knows him well
Got a heart of stone, as far as they can tell

NO ONE SEES HIM SHAKING, NO ONE FEELS HIM BREAKING
NO ONE HEARS THE DEMONS LAUGHING DOWN THE HALL
NO ONE THINKS TO QUESTION, NO ONE DARES TO MENTION
NO ONE SOLVES THE BIGGEST MYSTERY OF ALL
SO HE HIDES BEHIND THE WALL.

He makes people nervous
When he looks at them
He could scare a rose right off its stem
But it serves a purpose
So he plays the part
Never let them know he has a heart
One notch higher than the rest
They all wish their simple lives could be so blessed

NO ONE HEARS HIM CRYING, NO ONE KNOWS HE?S DYING
?CAUSE HE LEARNED TO WALK BUT NEVER LEARNED TO CRAWL
NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE IT, NO ONE COULD CONCEIVE IT
THAT THE MAN OF STONE IS TOO AFRAID TO FALL
SO HE HIDES BEHIND THE WALL.

It?s been way too long since someone?s gotten underneath his skin
Tearing down the bricks he built so high, the sun could not shine in
Sometimes in his dreams he sees her, but he can?t make out the face
She?s the one who brings a piece of heaven to this earthly place he dwells
Silently he prays?

THAT HER HANDS WOULD HEAL HIM AS HER EYES REVEAL HIM
AND THIS LIFE WOULD BE WORTH LIVING AFTER ALL
IN HIS HEART HE?D KNOW IT, IN HIS SMILE HE?D SHOW IT
THAT HE FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE WHO HEARD THE CALL
FROM THE MAN BEHIND THE WALL.
