Kansas - The Wall video free download
A song written by Kerry Livgren and Steve Walsh
Artist: Kansas
Album: Leftoverture
Year: 1976
Lyrics:
I'm woven in a fantasy
I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen
Has led me to a wall
And with each passing day
I feel a little more
Like something dear was lost
It rises now before me
A dark and silent barrier between
All I am
And all that I would ever want to be
It's just a travesty
Towering
Marking off the boundaries my spirit
Would erase
To pass beyond is what I seek
I fear that I may be too weak
And those are few
Who've seen it through
To glimpse the other side
The promised land is waiting
Like a maiden
That is soon to be a bride
The moment is a masterpiece
The weight of indecision's in the air
It's standing there
The symbol and the sum of all that's me
It's just a travesty
Towering
Blocking out the light and blinding me
I want to see
Gold and diamonds cast a spell
It's not for me, I know it well
The riches that I seek
Are waiting on the other side
There's more that I can measure
In the treasure of the love that I can find
And though it's always been with me
I must tear down the wall and let it be
All I am
And all that I was ever meant to be
In harmony
Shining true and smiling back
At all who wait to cross
There is no loss

I can't add to Tim's comment, 'nuf said! I have been blessed to share it with my son (who grew up listening to "70's" music even though he is only 22). In a word, the song is timeless for those who will truly listen to the words. It either "clicks" or it doesn't! By the way Tim, I don't know you, but your comment reveals much about your heart. You wouldn't by chance be an ENFP (brain type)?8 years ago

Kerry Livgren was very inspired during this album, he created all these songs almost out of thin air. During an interview he said it just came to him, he had nothing to do with the songs they came from beyond his own mind. Inspiration by definition to be truly new and original it has to come from beyond your own mind. The truth has been revealed, Google *Truth contest* and check out the top entry, the truth is stranger than fiction but it is the truth that will set you free.9 years ago

Every Kansas fan should email the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to get Kansas enshrined! If The Beastie Boys, Ramones, Flavor Flav, Heart, Rush, Steely Dan, & The Red Hot Chili Peppers can get in then so should Kansas. No disrespect to any of the bands I mentioned but come on!!!! Kansas isn't the only one being ignored. You can add Styx, Journey, ELO, Foreigner, Boston and Pat Benatar on that list!9 years ago
Music Rocks!

This is my absolute favorite song, hands down! it's been so ever since I heard it, and it probably always will be. This is one of the few songs I've had a strong emotional connection to. The first time I heard it, I had chills all over, and even though it's my favorite song, I rarely listen to it because I don't want it to become monotonous and lose this feeling. Kerry was undergoing a deep spiritual change in his life when he wrote it, and I think he just wrote from his heart. Today, this song has a special secret meaning to me. I hope you enjoy it, and a blessed day to you all!9 years ago
