jtidwell (Jenifer P. Tidwell):
You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights
When life was just a bet on a race between the lights
You had your head on my shoulder, you had your hand in my hair
Now you act a little colder, like you don't seem to care...
But believe in me baby and I'll take you away
From out of this darkness and into the day
From these rivers of headlights, these rivers of rain
From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
'Cause I've run every red light on memory lane
I've seen desperation explode into flame
And I don't wanna see it again...
From all of these signs saying Sorry, but we're closed
All the way down the telegraph road

jtkohl (John T Kohl):
...
Drifting through time and space
On the face of a little blue ball
Falling around the Sun
One in a million, billion, twinkling lights
Shining out for no one
In the middle of the night

rlcarr (Animato):
The lights go down, the stage is set
The man in the wings breaks out in sweat.
The backstage jokers find his coat
While the dressing room was full of smoke.
A crowd of fools got him high.
He's afraid he's gonna die.
He's the apple of their eye.
He steps into the remaining light.
The crowd all wild, he's outta sight.
Arms held high in a sign of peace.
His manager's signed a one-night lease.
The house is full, gettin' high.
He's afraid he's gonna die.
He's the apple of their eye.
He struts, he strolls,
His love is rock and roll.
He's the veteran cosmic rocker.
[instrumental interlude]
He steps into the remaining light.
The crowd all wild, he's outta sight.
Arms held high in a sign of peace.
His manager's signed a one-night lease.
The crowd of fools, gettin' high.
He's afraid he's gonna die.
He's the apple of their eye.
He struts, he strolls,
His life is rock and roll.
He's the veteran cosmic rocker.
He's afraid that he will die.

wesommer (Bill Sommerfeld):
I'm woven in a fantasy
I can't believe the things I see
The paths that I have chosen now 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 treasures 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 smiiling back at all who want to cross
THERE IS NO LOSS
"The Wall", by Kerry Livgren and Steve Walsh of Kansas
