The Wall
guitar chords lyrics
the wall
mike johnson, black yodel no.1 * 3 july 1992
vietnam veteran 1967 * 1969
i've known some names and faces.
from places long ago.
almost long forgotten
until i saw the wall.
standing oh so solemnly.
intending no dispair
drawing out a part of me.
that i forgot was there.
i moved along its marble face
my eyes inside the names
searching for someone i knew
feeling in my veins.
my eyes inside the names
searching for someone i knew
feeling in my veins.
hearing voices call my name.
see faces stare at me.
comrades round my lonely self
in dark eternity.
the wall is not my enemy,
the wall is not my friend
it's only a reminder of,
what is, and could have been.
the life we take for granted,
is not always guaranteed
and causes we take arms for,
are not always well received.
i did not want to go there.
but then again i did.
i had to let my brothers know
the demons did not win.
they told me i'm forgiven
should i not come again
we fought and died together.
i don't have to die again.
the wall is not my enemy,
the wall is not my friend
it's only a reminder of,
what is, and could have been
the life we take for granted,
is not always guaranteed
and causes we take arms for
are not always well received.
i've known some names and faces
from places long ago
almost long forgotten
until,
i saw,
the wall.
