From the recording Out to Lunch
Lyrics
The Soundwall
Drew James © 2015
Sometimes I think it's made of stone
It hides a world I've never known
If I had a fortune
I'd trade it all
To venture far beyond the great soundwall
Can’t climb it’s too tall
No space beneath to crawl
If I had a fortune
I'd trade it all
To venture far beyond the great soundwall
Wondering but not out loud
Is it there to keep me in or keep me out?
These questions I can't resolve
The answers lie beyond the great soundwall
(Chorus)
Coins in the well
Every wish I've kept to myself
Sometimes I wish I had the gall
To shout them loud beyond the great soundwall
(Chorus)
Words I’ve never said
Rattle around in my head
Thoughts I can’t express
Pound deep, deep within my chest
If I had a fortune
I'd trade it all
To venture far beyond the great soundwall
Far beyond the great soundwall
