i'm standing on a wall so tall
it is so high i dare not fall
i can't believe how high it is
i cannot peep i cannot call
i wonder how it got to this
that i can look to the abyss
where was i when this took place
tell me which part did i miss
was it hard to build this wall
did i stumble did i fall
did i bleed with wounds i got
from all the work to build it all
now i'm up here on my own too
i shout and wave until i'm blue
no one hears me wall's too high
i should have noticed what i do
time has passed i love my wall
i'm on my own don't care at all
i look at everyone down there
up here i'm safe won't ever fall
